Fall Back…
Love it or hate it, it’s that time….Daylight Saving. Fall back, meaning that you turn your clock back an hour and get an extra hour of sleep. You’ll come home in the darkness, and perhaps it shan’t be quite so dark when you’re trying to awake in the morning. I like the evening sun, but I also like the morning sun, so I wonder if perhaps the answer isn’t to be found so much in fiddling with the clock and nature, but rather with moving closer to the equator. Either that, or following our bodies’ clocks, which would be closer to sleeping more in the winter and less in the summer, and stopping pretending that we have so much control over it all…

In the UK, the evidence is utterly clear that daylight saving costs lives. But politicians are terrified of losing Scottish votes (even though the evidence is almost as strong in the most extremely affected parts of Scotland. It’s thought that something finally might be done about it next year, mind you.

I’d like us to just choose one time system and stick with it. Moving the time twice a year seems silly to me. But TPTB must think this is a good idea. Wonder who profits from all of this shifting?
