Our body clocks never adjust to Daylight Saving time

Apologies for the subject matter not being taken very seriously in this news item.... If you look past the silliness, this story highlights the flaws in the Daylight Saving system, where we adjust our clocks (supposedly) for the longer daylight hours in summer (supposedly) where there are significant differences in the daylight hours through the year.

The name "daylight saving" is misleading, and is based only on the fixed time schedules people follow.

Importantly (again, silly crap put aside), this story highlights the FACT that you can't "force" yourself to go to sleep when you "have to". SLEEP TIME COMES NATURALLY and it is UNHEALTHY to force yourself to wake up BEFORE IT'S REALLY TIME!!!

more daylight??? Same amount of daylight, only the time has been changed....

"more daylight, less crime" WHAT??? Go commit your crime one hour later than you normaly would, and continue commiting the crimes one hour later than you would normaly stop....Nothing to do with more daylight....LOL Man can't make the sun shine for one extra hour.

Agreed. The daylight saving time is an empty policy that conditions people only to comply. It's bad.

Changing the clocks is stupid, its all about control. It makes no difference what so ever. Move the clock half and hour back adn then leave it forever.
