You know what’s even more unhealthy? Getting hit by a car driven by a sleep-deprived driver.
Glad this change is now permanent.
I don’t care tbh. I’m willing to FAFO this. I’m so excited to get home after work with some daylight in the winter.
This sounds exaggerated about the negative consequences of changing it to a permeant time. Everyone different and has their own unique pattern for how they function throughout the day. So let people find their is rhythm instead of the government playing around what’s best for people.
Her take definitely confirms my experience.
While longer evenings are nice to enjoy, those dark winter mornings are absolutely brutal on my mental health and energy level, despite me taking measures to try coping (good sleep hygiene, vitamin D, full spectrum light in the morning).
I would not be keen to ratchet up the impact of winter darkness on my life.
I always thought it better to wake up in the dark in the winter so I didn’t miss any of the precious sunlight hours sleeping.
It infuriates me that all the sleep science points to the same conclusion, and our gov’t rufsed to even consider it. We weren’t even given the option in the past survey. Fucki g weird man.
What the heck?! It’s a great idea!
I’m not a morning person. I love waking up in the dark and having more sunshine later in the day when I am more likely to be active and outside.
>B.C. Ministry of Attorney General said in an emailed statement: „Concentrating limited winter daylight at the end of the day aligns better with when most people are active, which could help reduce collisions and improve overall well‑being.“
Exactly. There was also no mention in the article about depression associated with all the daylight being available only while you’re stuck at work. I find winter super depressing because I arrive at work before the sun is up and leave work after the sun has already set. If this kind of policy to move to permanent daylight saving time were to take hold in Ontario, Toronto winters would be less depressing and by extension is beneficial for health.
The arguments about sleep feel bogus because our society demands we get up or go to bed for various times and reasons that are completely detached from what the sun is doing. Sleep researchers furthermore advise that the healthiest thing to do is to go to bed at the same time every day – Sleep researchers never say time your waking up and going to bed with sunrise and sunset (which differ bit by bit everyday).
Researchers of differing but intersecting fields are giving contradictory findings – they can’t both be right.
So what happens when people fly to Europe or Hawaii for a vacation? Or moves from the north to a place closer to the equator? The deaths must be horrendous. I better stay home.
I’m from Saskatchewan which has no DST, also lived several years in Alberta with DST. Honestly I noticed very little difference, and I prefer not having to deal with the time change twice a year. The problem is that there isn’t enough daylight in a day, not what time we say it is during that daylight.
This is also something employers could do. Start work/school later, etc
But if course it’s always easier to blame the government for doing a thing 93% of people want
Scientifically this makes no sense. If this were true then we should let districts every hour hours apart set their own time zones so they align with people’s biological sleep needs. We dont live outside 24/7. I don’t see how this argument is even a thing.
Daylight savings time was forced on north America due to coal usage during WW2, I don’t see how it would be bad to return to normal. Especially when the constant gaining and loosing time already screws with people’s sleep schedule.
They’re really overstating the ‚evidence‘ here. A couple researchers pet theories and speculation with no actual evidence to back it up.
The afternoon/evening hours are more usable to me than the morning hours, so daylight savings time give more usable hours of sunshine. That’s better IMO.
