Research finds daylight saving time spells bad news for healthy habits
New research suggests that making the change to daylight saving time isn't good for our healthy habits. Researchers found that the onset of daylight saving time—when most jurisdictions in the United States "spring forward" and set their clocks ahead by one hour—is associated with increased consumption of processed snack foods and fewer trips to the gym.

Taking into account the daylight saving time change, this is another chance to share this:

When did #daylight #saving #time start?

Benjamin Franklin satirically toyed with the idea of Parisians changing their sleep patterns to save money on candles and lamp oil in 1784.
His frugal suggestion: Rise with the sun.

What to know about the start of daylight saving time
Daylight saving time will begin on Sunday, March 10 when clocks “spring forward” an hour. Here’s what to know about the time change, its history and why we do it.

But those laws won't take effect until Congress makes it legal. #press https://www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1235811935/daylight-saving-time-change-2024?utm_medium=JSONFeed&utm_campaign=news&utm_source=press.coop

#today reading some straggler #NewScientist articles, a paper on "Daylight Saving Time and Artificial Time Zones – A Battle Between Biological and Social Times", and my 6M progress meeting with my supervisors...
All starting with my accidental 24h

I hate computer code for handling time zones and daylight saving time more than I think I hate anything else.

Do we really need “science” to give us the answer on this one? 🤦🏼‍♂️ https://mastodon.cloud/@DamnInteresting/112090078994882684

I am travelling from Turku to Stockholm on the night ship on the 30th. That is the night of the switch to daylight saving time. The arrival time is normally 06:30. If the ship would use normal speed, it would on this day then arrive at 07:30. But they use higher speed in the crossing and the planned arrival is at 06:50. My train leaves at 08:20. So no problem in catching the train. #Interrail

Time zones are the worst.
Other than time zones with daylight saving time changing on different dates.

Stop changing the time twice a year. Don't wait for others to stop changing. Just do it.

Daylight Saving Cats!
Never ask your Cat to "Spring Forward" your clocks at 2am.
They tend to fall asleep on the job!
Who came up with this idea of messing with time and history just to gain an hour in the fields?!

A bill to end the twice-yearly time changes passed the Senate in 2022 but did not get a vote in the House.
Losing an hour of sleep in March has been linked to increased health and safety risks.

Change the clocks? Think again, say #sleep and #circadian researchers. #DaylightSavingTime

End daylight savings time! https://universeodon.com/@SaveStandard/112044169263963236

In the US, Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday.

The time is 2:36am, last night of daylight saving
Is it first 2:36 or second 2:36 ?

Yes please!

I’m not too bothered by the DST time change usually. It happens on a Sunday so I just sleep in. No biggie.
<phone rings>
Them: “Can you come in to work on Sunday at 5:45?”
Me: “5:45…AM…LIKE…IN THE MORNING!?”
Fuck Daylight Saving Time…🤬

The time is 2:36am, last night of daylight saving
