Switching to Daylight Saving Time makes me sick. Literally.

“The beginning of daylight saving time marks the arrival of spring every year. For some, the time difference can cause feelings of fatigue or more serious health symptoms. . . . According to the American Heart Association, in addition to the fatigue, the transition can also affect your heart and brain. Hospital admissions for an irregular heartbeat pattern known as atrial fibrillation, as well as heart attacks and strokes, increase in the first few days of daylight saving time.” ABC News

“He wrote this song for his son while his wife was pregnant, he passed away when his son was only 13 months old.” YouTube

A bill to end the back-and-forth of Daylight Saving Time cleared the U.S. Senate on Tuesday in a unanimous vote.

The Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent. If approved by the House and signed by President Joe Biden, Americans would no longer have to set their clocks back an hour and lose an hour of afternoon daylight in the fall and winter. https://www.deseret.com/utah/2022/3/15/22979804/senate-bill-daylight-saving-time-permanent-spring-forward-fall-back-marco-rubio-clock-us-congress?

  1. Kathy asked, “OK so which time is the real time before we started messin with it??? Does anyone remember?” Wiki explains, “Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada, was the first city in the world to enact DST, on July 1, 1908.[3][4] This was followed by Orillia, Ontario, introduced by William Sword Frost while mayor from 1911 to 1912.[35] The first states to adopt DST (German: Sommerzeit) nationally were those of the German Empire and its World War I ally Austria-Hungary commencing April 30, 1916, as a way to conserve coal during wartime. Britain, most of its allies, and many European neutrals soon followed. Russia and a few other countries waited until the next year, and the United States adopted daylight saving in 1918. Most jurisdictions abandoned DST in the years after the war ended in 1918, with exceptions including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, and the United States.[36] It became common during World War II (some countries adopted double summer time), and was widely adopted in America and Europe from the 1970s as a result of the 1970s energy crisis. Since then, the world has seen many enactments, adjustments, and repeals.[37]”
