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 damage public health, with critics calling it a potential time bomb. The concern centres on year-round late sunrises disrupting sleep and circadian rhythms, with possible links to heart problems, accidents and mental health issues. Debate continues over whether permanent standard time would be the healthier option.

Why now: Policymakers are again weighing legislation to end clock changes, reviving debate over which time system is safer and healthier.
