The LESS CAR ACCIDENTS AT RUSH HOUR! |
We've drifted a long ways from Saturday's venue, but a couple of thoughts.
I've always thought that Arizona never went on daylight saving time. In the most populated parts of the state (Phoenix and Tucson metro areas) it gets very hot in the summer and the last thing they want is one more hour of misery after work. Most recently, the Arizona legislature again rejected a change to DST in 2014.
Perhaps people don't "lose an hour of sleep", but a cardiovascular study found that the number of heart attacks increased by 24% on the Monday following the spring forward, possibly linked to the time change.
We're in the eastern part of the Eastern time zone. Dawn comes slowly in winter. If we were on year round DST, there would be many more car accidents in the MORNING rush hour of December and January due to the darkness. I guess it's a matter of picking your poison.
