If you can only read one thing today, make it Thing 3.
But you’re already here, and 90% of success is showing up so go for the full thing 😜
Thing 1: Cost of an hour of daylight
It’s just daylight saving time.
Or is it?
It’s supposed to help us “make better use of daylight” and save energy.
What it also does:
8% more car accidents
5% more heart attacks
More injuries at work
Lower SAT scores
5% harsher sentences in court
Lesson: if you’re a doctor go on vacation the week after clock is moved?
(6:30) Why Daylight Saving Time is Bad for Your Health | Samer Hattar & Andrew Huberman
The U.S. Senate just voted to make daylight saving time permanent from 2023. This is great because no more switching but choosing standard time might’ve been better.
There’s nothing stopping Americans from moving all the start times to an hour later. That fixes it. 🤔
