vcczar Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm not terribly picky about this, but I think keeping the time consistent worldwide would be helpful. It made more sense to have different time zones when we weren't so globalized. I think we should all just use Greenwich Mean Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Can't stand the constant changing back and forth every year. It's so needless. DST is the best and we should keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood all the drama. I don't particularly sleep by the clock anyway. I sleep because I'm tired. I wake up because too much sun shined through my windows. Daylight savings does not impact either one of those. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight savings does not impact either one of those. 2 times which affects people's sleep schedules for weeks (and even months). That has a significant effect on people. And you might not sleep by the clock, but lots of people do (cause not everyone is the same!). And when time gets shifted, their bodies have difficulty adjusting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when time gets shifted, their bodies have difficulty adjusting. Weeks or months? Based on a shift of one hour, every six months? Jet lag doesn’t last that long, and it’s far more jarring than a single hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think this is surprising considering your background in the health field (probably the most sleep-deprived industry on the planet). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right -- it's sleep deprived year round. I'm not aware of studies that suggest there's zero sleep deprivation year round in areas where daylight savings doesn't exist. My wife is a nurse who used to work overnights. Likewise (20 years ago), I worked overnights at a hotel. One night a year, we'd work an extra hour and get paid for it. One other night a year, we'd work one hour less and not get paid for it. It seriously wasn't some kind of dramatic event. I'm sleep deprived year-round, but that's mostly due to bad decision making/rejection of responsibility. ;c) Not because one day five months ago the time changed a tiny bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
