    Why do we need to change the clock twice a year when we know how many downsides there are?

    • sleep disruptions, can take weeks to adjust
    • 24% spike in heart attacks on the Monday after setting the clock forward
    • 8% increased risk of stroke
    • increased depressive episodes, worse mood, decreased cognitive performance
    • 6% increase in traffic accidents
    • more frequent workplace injuries
    • increased pedestrian risk
    • estimated between millions to billions of dollars in productivity loss annually in the US alone
    • international coordination confusion

    It fucking sucks
