Permanent daylight saving time called a public health risk
Original: Permanent daylight saving time could be a public health time bomb
Experts are warning that making daylight saving time permanent could harm public health. The argument is that a fixed clock skewed an hour off solar time would leave people waking in darkness for months, disrupting circadian rhythms and potentially raising risks of sleep loss, accidents and other health problems. The debate comes as policymakers continue weighing whether to abolish seasonal clock changes and which time standard to adopt instead.
Why now: Lawmakers and the public are actively debating ending seasonal clock changes, and new warnings about health effects keep the issue alive.
