A rolling cock gathers no moss.
If you hate daylight saving time and all the confusion and sleep deprivation it brings, you now have solid data on your side.
A wave of new research is bolstering arguments against changing our clocks twice a year — including this weekend, when daylight saving time begins. (Clocks go ahead one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday.)
The case for daylight saving time has been shaky for a while. The biannual time change was first widely implemented to save energy during the First World War.
Yet dozens of studies around the world have found that changing the clocks has either minuscule or non-existent effects on energy use. After the U.S. state of Indiana finally adopted daylight saving — that didn’t happen until 2006 — residents actually used more electricity.
Daylight saving time isn’t just a benign relic of wartime rationing. The latest research suggests the time change can be harmful to our health and cost us money. The effects are most disruptive in the spring and fall, right after the time changes occur.
Clocks in North America will spring forward Sunday. Most of Europe moves to daylight saving time two weeks later.
The suffering of the spring time change begins with the loss of an hour of sleep. That might not seem like a big deal, but researchers have found it can be dangerous to mess with sleep schedules. Car accidents, strokes and heart attacks spike in the days after the March time change.
It turns out that judges, sleep deprived by daylight saving, impose harsher sentences.
“Even mild changes to sleep patterns can affect human capital in significant ways,” two Cornell University researchers, Lawrence Jin and Nicolas Ziebarth, wrote last year.
Some of the last defenders of daylight saving time have been a cluster of business groups who assume the change helps stimulate consumer spending. That’s not true either, according to recent analysis of 380 million bank and credit-card transactions by the JPMorgan Chase Institute.
The study compared Los Angeles with Phoenix in the 30 days after the March and November time changes. Arizona is a natural test case since it’s one of the two U.S. states, along with Hawaii, that doesn’t do daylight saving. In the spring, according to the consumer transaction data, the additional hour of evening daylight in Los Angeles managed to slightly boost card spending per person, compared with that in Phoenix, although by less than 1 per cent.
But that spending uptick is swamped by the negative impact, which sees the darkened population of Los Angeles spend 3.5 per cent less at local retailers following the November time change.
After the autumn time change, shoppers made far fewer trips to the store, especially during the week. Grocery stores, discount stores and other retailers bore the brunt, while restaurants and service businesses were mostly unaffected.
In other words, daylight turns out to be a surprisingly large factor in how often workers stop at stores on their way home from their jobs in the evening. “At the end of the day, it’s either dark or light, and (people are) going to make an impulse decision at that point,” Diana Farrell, president and chief executive of the JPMorgan Chase Institute.
One possible explanation for the sharp spending decline, Farrell said, is that the extra hour of darkness could push more people to shop online rather than in-person. The study looked only at transactions via local retailers.
Daylight saving time may threaten our health, hurt local retailers and otherwise disrupt our lives. But can anything be done about it?
As Hawaii, Arizona and Saskatchewan — the only province which doesn’t follow the biannual time change — show, governments can decide whether they adopt daylight saving time. But opting out of the ritual has proven difficult.
Daylight saving is “an example of how sticky policy can be,” Farrell said.
Last year, 19 bills were pending in U.S. state legislatures to end the practice, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. None passed.

I'm all for eliminating the time changes, and wish they would.

On the subject of turning cocks back ...
Do men who point their weenie down between their legs while lying on their stomach, also point it down in their pants?
I've notice some guys like to carry it pointing up, and some like it down.
Hmmmmmm
