What daylight-saving time does to your body and brain

Daylight-saving time may seem like a harmless shift. But doctors say it has deadly consequences, increasing risks of heart attacks, and car accidents.

Me! It should be banned, fkn waste of time and energy!

Maybe I should put this in the grumpy fluffybunnies thread, Summer Time/DST annoys the crap out of me

If "losing" an hour of sleep once a year causes people to have heart attacks, perhaps they should shuffle off this mortal coil.

@antipodean They should avoid air travel of any sort, they would drop dead when stepping into the different time zone.

I can't believe that I'm still alive. 20,000 hours of time zone changes and sleep deprivation. Throw in the radiation at altitude...

I need a nap just thinking about it.

Can you elaborate? I never knew that was an issue for pilots?

Yep. The atmospere reduces or filters cosmic / solar radiation - the higher you go the more you get. It wasn't so much of an issue until we started going over the North pole (shorter flight times) and we were limited as to how many polar flights we could do a year for health reasons.

One of my first officers had a geiger counter - it was not fun listening to it.

I should add that it is about the same as chest X ray, but who has one of those 3 times a month? It's not Chernobyl but it's not great.

We also had chest x rays as part of our medicals to add to it.

Should all be spiderman or X men really (or dead).

Would have thought the chem trails you were spreading would have offered some sort of shielding.

I would refer you to the conspiracy thread.
