Expect a dramatic rise in suicides from people whose only hope during the winter is when DSL will roll around again.<br /><br />It seems that the primary reason people don't like DSL is that they lose one measly hour. Not a problem if we just adopt it year round.<br /><br />It confounds me that anyone likes it to get dark before they leave work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997838873455865285.post-2445970996341917902010-12-04T19:39:36.904-05:002010-12-04T19:39:36.904-05:00Getting rid of daylight savings time looks good. ...Getting rid of daylight savings time looks good. Keeping it all year long, however, was tried (was it about 35 years ago? ) and dropped when children in rural areas were being hit by cars while waiting for school buses in the pitch dark. Let's have standard time all year.audrey lylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997838873455865285.post-77905492331185883732010-11-08T10:32:10.094-05:002010-11-08T10:32:10.094-05:00Do I have to say something about this!
First of al...Do I have to say something about this!<br />First of all, I don't know what data show. When they compare the rate of suicide before and after the DST switch in the spring, the data don't seem to come from comparable observations - there may be other factors contributing to this.<br />Getting older, I notice that the shift affects me more than before, and I start to not like it as much. I also agree that the spring switch is more difficult than the fall switch, however, I am of a strong opinion that - especially in Maine - the spring time is better. Primarily because Maine (eastern Maine even more so) is not in its own time zone. It shares the time zone with neighboring states, while in fact, it should be an hour ahead. You can't quite see it from this map, but looking at the map of US states makes it very plain.<br />If you rely on data telling you that adolescents are not awake for 2-3 hours after the sunrise, it is best to have students learning from February through November, adding an earlier class in May through August, but we won't go for it, will we?<br />Making inferences from the map is certainly a great exercise. Indeed, the countries most affected by DST are the ones further from the equator, which in itself is a great discussion.<br />If we were really after saving electricity, sports events wouldn't be scheduled consistently after dark, with the whole stadium ablaze. We would put on an extra sweater and thick socks, and we would unplug appliances that drain electricity while in stand-by mode.<br />And true there are people who are not affected as much and others who are.<br />Another thing to look at is who is really mostly affected by the change? Of course, all schools (children and teachers), but not as much people who are unemployed or working from home. People whose shifts are constantly changing, may not notice the change as much or on the contrary may be affected even more - say your shift start at 5, and now it's technically 4.<br />I think that gaining an hour of sleep is a myth (although the Apple iPhone 4 glitch made it more a reality than anything else!), but losing an hour of sleep is more tangible.OLAPLANTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655032861326849330noreply@blogger.com
