As we recover from yet another "spring forward" into Daylight Saving Time again, it seems a good time to revisit the topic we initially covered in episode 18. While that episode sought more to explain the origins of the practice and how to best adjust, this episode is more of a declaration as to why the entire practice should be abolished in favor of permanent standard time. In this episode we will:Unpack the support for eliminating the clock change and why many lawmakers have ignored science and pushed for a permanent adoption of daylight saving time (DST)List the many entities and groups that support the adoption of permanent standard timeBriefly touch upon the few "cons" to permanent standard time and how they are both questionable and dwarfed by the available research in favor of permanent standard timeExplain the circadian and health benefits of permanent standard timeExplore the school performance benefit of eliminating DSTMeasure the positive environmental impact of adopting standard time all yearDive into productivity increases when the standard time is adoptedLearn why permanent daylight saving time already failed in the 1970sDebunk the noting that the practice was started to benefit farmers; not only is this not true, but farmers opposed it because of the reduction in morning lightProduced by: Maeve WinterMore Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!
