Daylight Saving Time Is Stupid


So will
this be the year we stop having to change our clocks twice a year. We
have a month to make the decision.

If I
understand it we change our clocks twice a year so our working hours
(and hours awake) align better with when the sun is out. This of
course changes our sleeping hours.

Of
course the big problem with that is that not everyone has the same
working hours. Traditionally office workers worked 9-5 and factory
workers 8-4 and construction workers might start even earlier and
there are people working 12 hours shifts and numerous other
variations, not to mention shift work, etc., so it is impossible to
align our working hours with when the sun is out.

What we
do now is change our clocks and our sleeping hours by a large one
hour twice a year which is documented to cause health and other
problems.

If we
kept the same time year round the difference between our working
hours and hours of sunlight would change a tiny amount 365 times a
year.

This is
clearly the healthier and more sensible alternative yet somehow
almost every jurisdiction lacks the political will to do this.
