People are confused around the science on this & some are shooting the messengers
-this isn't a mild 1 hr shift just for one day. It'll cause long-term sleep deprivation that accumulates daily & can lead to health issues
-this change doesn't add more sunlight
-it'll be worse for night owls π¦
Science: "For the average sleep-deprived parent, losing an additional 30 minutes a night is like throwing a drowning person a cinderblock"

We're going to see greater health-care utilization rates, because when we burn the candle at both ends, when we don't anchor our circadian rhythms and get the sleep, we're designed to get... we accelerate aging and cognitive decline.

Tweet from user Hans fiene "you anti dst weaklings are always welcome to go to bed an hour early so as not to enjoy the extra sunlight and perfection and glory you hate so much"
Why do I feel like this will be the next ableist thing? Ironically the health harms of 'social jet lag' will impact night owls more - it's like those who think they are immune to long covid but like that, everyone will be harmed by this
