The other half is that permanent Standard time is healthier for us.

In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.

I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?

Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”

Did you actually read the link? The study basically attributes all of the negative effects to the change and not specifically standard time or daylight saving time, so I think what that means is DST is no more or less good for people than standard time. The switching is the part that is harmful.

I did read the link and ~~wonder if you read it~~ know you didn't read past the first few lines.

Also, this is literally everywhere. Go Google it. Ciao.

Wow you just stalked through a week's worth of comments. Your lack of introspection is astounding.
