This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

sleep experts say that standard time (which shifts daylight hours earlier in the morning) aligns best with human circadian biology.

That sounds like the talk of a morning person. Bastard. Where'd you find them?

What? It's the other way around you know. Standard time means you rise with the sun, daylight savings means you rise an hour before it.
