Permanent Daylight Saving Time May Harm Sleep and Mental Health
Original: Permanent Daylight Saving Time Could Harm Sleep and Mental Health, Analysis Says https://www.sci.news/medicine/permanent
A new analysis warns that making daylight saving time permanent could disrupt sleep patterns and negatively affect mental health, pushing back against proposals to adopt it in the United States. The finding argues that year-round later sunrises would leave many people misaligned with their body clocks, contradicting popular assumptions that eliminating clock changes is automatically better for wellbeing.
Why now: Lawmakers and the public are actively debating whether to end seasonal clock changes, so research on which system is healthier is drawing attention.
