Could daylight saving time increase your risk of stroke?

Statistics have shown that there are MANY more car accidents in the days following the switch. Thanks congress for your "wisdom" once again.

Oh please. Correlation does not prove causation.

How about moving it a half hour and leaving it be.

For myself, I’d rather not see DST at all. Post DST analysis of energy savings show no benefit.

“Noon” is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky during a particular day. Not having DST keeps it that way year round.

But, I guess, some folks didn’t like the common definition of “noon” just like others didn’t like the common definition of “marriage” so changed it.

I doubt it, but changing the clocks is stupid.

I love daylight savings time, and I’ve never had a stroke. A miracle, no doubt.

Haven’t we had enough of Ben Franklin’s practical joke by now?

I hate daylight savings time! I’m already dreading losing that hour.

While I was in the USAF I had several years of working what we called “NORAD Crew Rotation”. Four “swing” shifts, 1530-2330, followed by four “mid” shifts, 2330-0730, followed by four day shifts, 0730-1530. Then we got 3 days off. Rinse, lather, repeat...

I hated it. Especially mids.

In Woomera, Australia, Australian civilians and RAAF airmen did crew duty with us. They had a great way of going from one switch to the next. The last swing shift, we’d go out into the desert and drink and chunder until dawn. The last mid shift we’d go to Spud’s Roadhouse* in Pimba and drink and chunder unitl the day shift went home at 3:30 PM... The last day shift, well, I went to Adelaide to look for girls. Woomera had girls behind every tree. Problem was—no trees!

*Spuds Murphy had a combined restaurant, hotel, grocery store, pet store, feed store, wool shearing station, filling station, petting zoo, animal and natural wonders museum, and, of course a full Aussie bar with everyone getting shouts for everyone else ;-).
