Daylight savings time negative effects that are associated with it. One of these problems with daylight savings time would be the way it effects sleep, daylight savings time turns the clock back an hour which effects the total amount of sleep during the night. The lack of sleep causes more work place injuries because of the 1-hour loss of sleep. there was not just more injury's, but they were also more severe then they usually are (Barnes, Christopher., Wagner, David. 2009). The interesting part about this article is when the daylight savings time was switched back to standard time which added an hour extra to sleep, "there was no significant differences in sleep, injury quantity, or injury severity".…
Conceived by Benjamin Franklin over 200 years ago, the idea of Daylight Saving Time had its foundations in energy savings. It was implemented in the United States during both world wars and was later standardized by the Uniform Time Act in 1966. Nowadays, controversy surrounding the subject has supporters claiming that Daylight Savings Time conserves energy otherwise spent on artificial light; promotes outdoor activities in the evening, reduces traffic accidents, and is beneficial for businesses. This paper will present and explore the opposing view that changes in energy usage over the years have made Daylight Savings Time obsolete, as it no longer serves the goal for which it was developed. Actual energy savings are inconclusivein some cases…
This cost US companies millions to reset automated equipment, put us further out of sync with Asia and Africa time-wise, and inconvenienced most of the country, in an attempt to save energy. Some people say that they want daylight savings, so they can experience the evening light, but an equal number of people like the morning…
Have you ever wondered why the U.S does daylight savings time and the rest of the world doesn’t? The U.S has been using daylight savings time for years while other countries have stopped after WW2. In the articles“Pros & Cons: Daylight Savings time” by Proscons.org and the article “The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time” by David Prerau they state that daylight savings is both good and bad. Although some argue that the U.S should eliminate daylight savings, I believe that daylight savings should remain because of the reduced exposure to artificial light and the decreased risk of car accidents involving children in the afternoon. One advantage to daylight savings time is the reduced exposure to artificial light.…

It can also affect many school activities with having to start later and end sooner since the day ends faster. Teens shouldn’t be affect with these possibilities of not being in an activity because the later changes. There has been a non-scientific survey that has reported 50 percent of parent that have agree or are undecided with the new time changes and 60 percent of staff agreed with the change. I believe that parents think it’s right for their children to start later or earlier because of the evidence that they have been provided about their children academic improvement. Staff had worked in school with the children and they might also believe it is right because it can change their school education but they don’t understand that it can affect the different schools because it will not be the same times for all…
When the current form of the body was developed, however, the time it would take to walk across a time zone would give the internal clock time to adjust. Humans have no built in mechanisms to combat modern day travel fatigue, so extra precautions and tactics should be followed to keep humans at top efficiency. All humans feel effects similar to jet lag twice a year, and the precautions needed for modern day travel are similar to those that can be taken during a Daylight Savings change. Going to bed a little earlier or later, depending on which way you are traveling, and light therapy, exposing yourself to light to wake your internal clock up, are a few things more and more people like…

Twelve schools in the county are thinking about changing to a year-round school schedule, I agree with them wanting the change it because it is a lot more beneficial to the students. The year round school schedule benefits students by (1)having more breaks, (2)less missed school, (3)and not forgetting crucial information during the long summer break. A benefit to the year round school schedule is that the students get more breaks. Since the students get more breaks, they have more opportunities for vacation. More vacations allow students to have more fun, and since they will be having more fun they will be happier students.…

Daylight Saving Time-- created as a way to conserve daylight and save energy is a practice that dates back to the early 1900s. Most countries have adapted to the practice of turning the clocks ahead one hour in the spring, and then turning them back an hour in the fall. Yet, there’s a lack of knowledge of how and why Daylight Saving Time came about, which has caused a lot of debate over whether it should end once and for all. Daylight Saving Time should be abolished as it has no purpose and causes a great deal of confusion and aggravation, as well as having negative effects on our health.…

Over time, some Americans were using Daylight Saving Time while other were not. This created a lot of confusion. To help solve the problem, in 1966, The Uniform Time Act was put in place by Congress (Daylight saving, n.d.).…
Studies show that students are more alert after nine o'clock. With school starting at 7:44, the first two periods seem like a waste. Students aren't learning to their full potential, and as a result aren't getting the grades they are capable of. Over twenty percent of all high school students fall asleep in school at one time or another. It's hard to learn while you're sleeping.…
Kristiana Kokott ENG 105 Professor Wolfe 6 September 2017 Waking with Natural Light In “Snoozers Are, in Fact, Losers,” Maria Konnikova highlights the importance of fighting the urge to slam the “snooze” button on the alarm clock every morning. Konnikova argues that individuals should strive to sync their daily morning routine to their internal circadian rhythm to live better and be more productive. Her solution to taming the widespread epidemic of sleeplessness and subpar productivity involves adding localized time zones across countries to promote internally synchronized schedules. She ultimately persuades readers to try relying on their internal rhythms instead of alarm clocks, but her argument for a solution to sync with our internal clocks…
