Permanent daylight saving time called a public health risk

Original: Permanent daylight saving time could be a public health time bomb

A new warning says making daylight saving time permanent could harm public health, with critics calling it a 'time bomb'. The concern centres on the effects of year-round late sunrises on sleep, safety and wellbeing, renewing debate over proposals in the United States to stop changing clocks twice a year and lock the clock in one setting permanently.

Why now: Lawmakers are again debating whether to make daylight saving time permanent, prompting health experts to warn about the consequences.
