Why does this thread exist? Because some scientists/doctors studied this very question and concluded that there are negative health and safety implications to continuing to do what we are doing. Conventions have consequences.
- bobthepanda 6y agoThe problem is with the change and transition, not the fact that solar time doesn't inherently match wallclock time. Even the actual position statement doesn't have a strong argument for which one should be the permanent time, and is worded as a hunch: > Although chronic effects of remaining in daylight saving time year-round have not been well studied, daylight saving time is less aligned with human circadian biology — which ... could result in circadian misalignment https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8780 https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8780 (emphasis mine)
