Time for a change on time change

The rationale was that a later sunset meant people would spend fewer hours using lights inside their homes in the evening. At least try to plan ahead so you aren’t in a scramble to make brunch, show up for an afternoon date or get some chores done around the house.

Daylight Saving Time, like the electoral college, is a completely useless tradition that America should cease to observe immediately.

Commentary: Santa Fe- “Sunday is the shortest day of the year…since we lose one hour between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m”. This might confuse some people, because not everywhere does Daylight Saving Time, including a couple of states!

A 2016 study conducted in Finland found that the overall rate for stroke was 8 percent higher in the two days after daylight saving time began.

A helpful way to remember whether to set our clocks ahead or behind one hour during the Daylight Saving Time change for Fall 2017 is to “Fall Back” and “Spring Ahead”.

Jurisdictions surrounding BC, including Alberta, Washington, Oregon and California, have been mulling over whether or not to ditch the switch, pointing out the original energy-saving benefits of Daylight Saving Time are rarely seen anymore.

Now, Bloomberg has gathered new research that seems to prove what people have been saying for some time: the case in favour of daylight saving is shaky.

“At my age I’m used to getting up every early anyway so I will get up at the same time, no matter what time they call it”, said DeShazo.

It’s been feeling more like summer this week, but it’s spring that’s just around the corner, and that means it’s time to spring our clocks forward.

As the week progresses, the hazard could get worse not better.

States are able to exempt themselves. Currently, Arizona and Hawaii as well as the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa do not change their clocks.

That creates one downside to daylight saving time. Anthony Cannella, R-Modesto, said when Chu’s original bill died. That was confusing, because the time varied then from state to state, not just time zone to time zone.

Therein lies the greatest actual problem with Daylight Saving Time.
