I bet the Vulcans never tried to "Save Daylight" by changing the clocks twice a year

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Sleep experts say Senate has it wrong: Standard time, not daylight saving, should be permanent
From the cited reference:
Not a study. Just a recommendation. A position statement. There's no evidence either way.
One thing I think we can all agree on is that the time change sucks. There appears to be a trend of studies that take a position statement on which time is more compatible with human biology meriting more research but that's going to take time. Meanwhile there's a mountain of evidence with an overwhelming avalanche of studies that conclude the abrupt time change is fucking dogshit for human biology, mental well being, and energy consumption accelerating climate change. I wish standard time was proven healthier just out of preference, but I'd be fine with just picking a time and sticking with it.
Agreed. I'd prefer daylight time, but stopping the change is absolutely crucial. At the very least it's just fucking annoying and serves little purpose anymore.
This is a good point. These position statements treat standard time as though it is synonymous with circadian alignment, which makes some bad assumptions. Fundamentally the bad assumption is that if there is light in the morning people will be exposed to it. Most people go from a curtained bedroom to a windowless office or classroom, and don't get much sun exposure in the morning whether the sun is up or not. It's arguable that the only thing that matters is whether the sun's up during free time, which for most people occurs only in the early evening.
That was just the first link, I can give you more (and I'm certain studies) all day long. It's really not hard to google.
