Who knew?

It's a killer... A magazine published by Duke Energy

Studies "have found that the time change interrupts sleep cycles, causing fatigue, lack of productivity and sadness," the article added. Even worse, medical studies showed that daylight saving time also can lead to death. "Other studies show that the number of heart attacks spikes in the days following the March time change, and after the November time change, the frequency of heart attacks decreases," the article reads.

It is referring to a 2013 study in the American Journal of Cardiology that showed a small spike in heart attacks on the Sunday following the March time change.

A University of Alabama study done in 2012 showed a 10 percent jump in heart attacks on the Monday and Tuesday following the time change in March.

Compromise by putting Illinois and Indiana on a half-hour time zone like Newfoundland. Our 4:30 winter sunsets and 4:30 summer sunrises are both bullshit.

Talk about screwed up.

I was in SW Indiana and Northern Kentucky two weeks ago and the time can literally change from county to county.

Yeah but think about December and January and all that darkness in the morning.

I'd be fine with it in the morning. I just hate it at night.

Did you just say you hate darkness at night?

December 1st you'd be looking at sunrise around 8, January 1st around 8:20, February 1st around 8:05. That's probably a little late for kids who have to get to school around 7:30.
