Indeed, by modeling light exposure, circadian impacts and health characteristics county by county, the researchers estimate that permanent standard time would prevent some 300,000 cases of stroke per year and result in 2.6 million fewer people having obesity. Permanent daylight saving time would achieve about two-thirds of the same effect.

I'd rather just get rid of it entirely. It'd also make more sense when looking at time zones.

i'll happily take all of the obesity over not seeing sunlight for most of the week
