These fucking idiots in #Washington claim to care about your health, but all they do is FUCK THINGS UP. There "so into science" until the actual hard science comes up and contradicts their endless fucking bullshit.
I HATE this clock bullshit, CAN YOU LEAVE THE SUN ALONE? It is not in our best interest to fool with our circadian rhythms, you'll have a bloody heart attack.
Someone tell these assholes to #STOPWITHTHECLOCKS and make STANDARD TIME ⏰FFICIAL AND DONE. #STANDARDTIME vs #DAYLIGHTSAVINGS
"In recent years, the spring time change has been linked to an increase in cardiac events, perhaps due to disrupted sleep. One study found an increase in hospitalizations for atrial fibrillation, a type of heart arrhythmia, in the days following the springtime transition to daylight saving time.
"I was very surprised," researcher and study author Dr. Jay Chudow, a cardiologist at Montefiore Health, told NPR last year. "It's just a one-hour change," he says, but this shows how sensitive our bodies may be to circadian rhythm disruptions.
Many doctors and scientists agree it's time to stop the twice a year time change, but they oppose legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent. Instead, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Medical Association both favor permanent standard time, which preserves morning light.
"Human circadian rhythms are very closely linked to the rising and setting of the sun," explains Jennifer Martin, a psychologist who is also president of the AASM.
And she says our internal clock is not as well aligned during daylight saving time. "Light in the morning is very important," she says. "Restoring permanent, year-round standard time is the best option for our health and well-being," Martin says."
