Daylight Saving Time (note: NOT “Savings”) starts on Sunday, March 14 in most of the US. Does it really save energy? Some studies suggest it does.
Will it give me a heart attack? It’s more that disruptions in sleep make one more vulnerable to heart attacks generally.
I swear I saw this report before the earlier DST was instituted a few years ago that there would be a review after two years to see if it is working. Is it saving energy, or are people using more light on those mid-March mornings when they weren’t necessary the week before? More daylight when the air conditioners are on, perhaps. But I’ve seen no study, and now it seems to be codified.
So how do you feel about DST? I hate it because it takes the better part of a week for the daughter to get acclimated, especially the spring winter forward part. How much time is used by people changing clocks, which always are off on Monday morning after the change? Worse, countries around the world change their clocks in different weeks, or not at all. I have to figure what time it is in Europe for two weeks until Europe makes the switch.
Your thoughts?
Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?
