“I stay on standard time year-round. I’ve been doing that for 30 years.”
Most of the United States entered daylight saving time on Sunday, skipping an hour overnight and gaining some extra early evening sunlight. Once the grumbling over that lost hour of sleep ended Monday morning, some 9-to-5 office workers began to embrace the time change as a harbinger of brighter things to come: longer days, warmer weather, and the end of a particularly dismal winter., those grumblings about lost sleep aren’t petty, and that joy over 6 p.m. sunshine is misplaced.
. The design of daylight saving time is to force you out of bed an hour early. And we don’t go to bed; we find that it needs to be dark for like an hour or so, that you can’t just go to bed as soon as the sun sets. So DST makes it harder to fall asleep at night and then it forces you to wake up earlier in the morning. When we deprive sleep chronically over the long term, our health suffers—our mood, our alertness, our immunity. This carries forward intoThere’s also the environmental factor.
So I would say to that: The problem is that we work too long. We work too much. I personally support ideas that will give workers more control over their day. Whenever you feel the best coming in to work, you should. That’s the correct solution. This whole idea of moving clocks around is like trying to change your thermometer to address global warming. It doesn’t change what the real temperature is.
