Clock change dilemma puts science against politics
Original: A clock change dilemma pits science vs. politics
Debate is resurfacing over whether to end the twice-yearly clock changes, with scientists pointing to evidence that shifting clocks disrupts sleep and health, while politicians remain divided over whether to keep permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time. The dilemma highlights how public policy on timekeeping lags behind scientific consensus, leaving the seasonal switch in place despite growing calls for reform.
Why now: Lawmakers and the public keep debating whether to abolish seasonal clock changes, and the clash between health evidence and political disagreement keeps the issue alive
