Permanent daylight saving time called a public health risk
Original: Permanent daylight saving time could be a public health time bomb
Health commentators are warning that making daylight saving time permanent could harm public health, with critics describing the shift as a potential 'time bomb'. The concern centres on year-round late sunrises in winter, which can disrupt circadian rhythms, affect sleep, and worsen mood and safety outcomes. Debate continues over whether permanent standard time would be the healthier option for the population.
Why now: Policymakers are again weighing whether to end clock changes, prompting renewed scrutiny of the health effects of permanent daylight saving time.
