The European Union's mistake: How permanent daylight saving time will harm health

The European Union is considering a move to permanent daylight saving time, but a new study warns of the health consequences. The study claims that permanent daylight saving time could disrupt the biological clock and increase the risk of road accidents and heart attacks, and that permanent standard time is the healthier option.

The European Union is considering a move to permanent daylight saving time, but a new study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal warns of the health consequences. The study claims that permanent daylight saving time could disrupt the biological clock, impair sleep quality, and increase the risk of road accidents and heart attacks. According to the researchers, exposure to morning light is essential for synchronizing the biological clock, and permanent standard time is the healthier option for the human body. The European Parliament has voted to end the seasonal clock change, but member states are divided on whether to adopt permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time. A final decision has not yet been made.
