The biggest reasons for getting rid of Daylight Saving Time have to do with the negative health effects of losing an hour of sleep. Hormones fluctuate, and sleep suffers for longer than one hung over morning. Many people feel the effects of this loss long term, as research shows a spike in heart attacks and strokes following the time change, indicating that this seasonal disruption has real consequences on physical health.
As my wife discovered, the concept of Daylight Saving Time can seem baffling—an agreed-upon alteration of time twice a year that supposedly aims to provide longer daylight hours in the evening during the summer months. Its logic is hazy at best, often leading one to wonder why merely moving the clocks around can provide us with perceived benefits without considering the complex impacts it has on our daily lives.
