Permanent Daylight Saving Time May Harm Sleep, Canadian Analysis Warns
Original: Permanent Daylight Saving Time Could Harm Sleep and Mental Health, Canadian Analysis Says
A Canadian analysis warns that making daylight saving time permanent could damage sleep and mental health. Researchers argue that year-round late sunrises would leave many people waking in darkness, misaligning body clocks with natural light and worsening sleep quality, mood and overall wellbeing. The findings feed an ongoing debate over whether to stop clock changes and, if so, which time standard to adopt.
Why now: Lawmakers and the public are actively debating abolishing seasonal clock changes, and this analysis adds health evidence to that discussion.
