Other Opinion: Time to stop messing around with time Dump the clock-changing foolishness, already

Editorial: Time to stop messing around with time Dump the clock-changing

Los Angeles Times Editorial Board It’s nearly that time of year again when Americans reset their clocks one hour ahead, grumble about losing an hour of sleep and wonder why on Earth we keep observing the outdated tradition of tinkering with time twice a year. It’s a good question. There’s no practical benefit to the biannual clock-changing ritual beyond reminding people to check their smoke alarm batteries. But there are plenty of annoyances and maybe some health risks too. It sows confusion and discombobulation (is it spring forward, fall back or the other way round?). Some studies have found a correlation between changing the clocks and increased heart attacks, strokes and car accidents. That’s not proof, of course, but given how messing with time schedules can disrupt sleep, and messing with sleep can decrease alertness and impair physical health, it’s not hard to see a connection.
