Making Daylight Saving Time even more puzzling is that after World War I, and World War II, …

A lot of us have felt this for a long time, but now all the data points to the fact that Daylight Saving is actually doing us harm.

Eliminating the twice-yearly clock change and introducing permanent winter time could bring significant health benefits, including reducing strokes and curbing obesity, according to an analysis by scientists from Stanford Medicine (USA). They developed three mathematical models that took into account light exposure, its impact on circadian rhythms, and epidemiological data. They demonstrated that both permanent summer time and permanent winter t…
