Permanent daylight saving time called a public health risk

Original: Permanent daylight saving time could be a public health time bomb

New reporting argues that making daylight saving time permanent could damage public health, warning that permanently dark winter mornings may disrupt sleep, increase accidents and raise longer-term health risks. The piece has drawn attention as the debate over ending seasonal clock changes resurfaces, with critics saying politicians often overlook the medical evidence when weighing whether to stick to summer time year-round.

Why now: Ongoing policy debate about abolishing seasonal clock changes has renewed scrutiny of the health effects of permanent daylight saving time.
