Daylight saving time (DST) is nearly here, but for how much longer will we have to put up with the clock change? While 'springing forward' and losing an hour of sleep may seem like a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, experts are warning it might pose a risk to our wellbeing. Is it time to ditch daylight saving time?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has teamed up with Coalition for Permanent Standard Time (CpST) to propose that we should put an end to springing forward and establish a standard time permanently, arguing that DST might have a "dangerous and adverse" effect on our health.
