Your ignorance doesn’t matter all the same, it is what it is.

You are too kind.

The point I am making is that this single one-hour change is equivalent to driving from Chicago to spend a week in Detroit. In far less than a day's time you won't notice the difference, if you notice it at all.

I can easily understand if it was a six-hour change or even a three-hour change where the effects may indeed be more noticeable and a normal person may need a day or three to adjust ... but one hour difference? -- give me a break!

Now, there are a host of valid reasons for not wanting to move the clocks back and forth twice a year, but circadian rhythm disruption, increased heart attacks, and more traffic accidents aren't among them despite the "research" you mention (but do not cite) of some, likely, self-proclaimed time-change "experts". (BTW- Haven't you learned from the past three years that what "experts" say and what "studies" report must, at best, be taken with an enormous grain of salt ... and, in the interest of maintaining good mental and physical health, should in many cases be dismissed with but casual interest or be disregarded completely?)

Be well ... and Cheers! For now I must turn my attention to even more serious matters such as should the toilet paper roll be positioned such that the paper is dispensed over the roll rather than from under the roll. Now that's a topic worthy of its on thread!

Yeah. Discount it all you want. Ignorance is truly bliss..

Here are a few articles. I would post more, but I am at a workshop and posting on my phone is a pain.

Now I cited some, despite your laziness to look them up and dealing with posting them on a phone. There is a huge difference between the health “experts” of the last three years about covid and decades of research about the health effects of changing the time. Good luck orienting the toilet paper rolls.

U.S. fatal car crashes spiked 6% during the workweek after daylight saving time began, resulting in an additional 28 deaths each year.
