Daylight Saving Time – “Spring ahead, fall behind,” Who needs it?
“You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason
why we observe daylight saving time.” — Dave Barry
Mainlanders – don’t forget to change your clock.
Hawaiians do observe ‘Island Time.’ No need to change our clock.
Why Hawaii Doesn’t Have Daylight Saving Time: Hawaii abandoned the Uniform Time Act in 1967, simply because of its relative proximity to the equator, which makes Daylight Saving Time unnecessary. The sun rises and sets around the same time each day in Hawaii, making the idea of springing forward and falling back redundant.
Who Else Doesn’t Observe Daylight Saving Time? Most areas of the United States observe daylight saving time (DST), the exceptions being Arizona and the overseas territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established the system of uniform Daylight Saving Time throughout the US.
One Hour Time Change Can Be Harmful To Your Health: “You might not think that a one hour change is a lot,” says Fred Turek, who directs the Center for Sleep & Circadian Biology at Northwestern University. “But it turns out that the master clock in our brain is pretty hard-wired, ” Turek explains. It’s synchronized to the 24-hour light/dark cycle.
Scientists have documented that the shift to daylight saving time in the spring, when we lose an hour of sleep, is linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and a rise in traffic accidents.
