Purely anecdotal, but I work in 911 dispatch

And for a few days after the clocks change it always feels like we get a bunch of calls from/about people acting strangely.

My pet theory is that a lot of people with mental health issues are either really dependent on taking their meds at certain times, or just really need a steady routine to keep them stable, and in either case shifting things by an hour throws that all off.

And not for nothing, I work nights, and when I work the clock change, it’s nice when I get to work 1 hour less, but it absolutely does not make up for when I have to work an extra hour.

British Columbia, Canada just went to permanent DST.

So far, it seems no different than before. Maybe it’ll be different when others set their clocks back in 6 months.

Realistically, I can’t see it making much difference. People already don’t live in alignment with their circadian clock.

I want perminate standard time. Mostly because any US state can do that now, but year round dst requires us congress to change the law. I want to be done with the nonescence now and what the clocks read doesn’t matter much so long as they are consistent.
