The sun tells a varying time which, sure, has its value, but is inconvenient if you wanted to say, pay someone for an allotted time span of work.

Local opinion: Arizona is right not to go on Daylight Saving Time Adolescents, already sleep-deprived because their high schools start early, lose even more sleep under Daylight Saving Time. Most adolescents need 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night.

“Daylight Saving Time steals light from morning and gives it to evening. Lack of light when we awaken makes us feel less alert. Extra light in evening makes it harder to fall asleep and reduces the amount of sleep we get.” #DitchDST tucson.com/opinion/colu...

Why daylight saving time is worse for your body than standard time Daylight saving time gives us more light at the end of the day to enjoy spring and summer activities, but it can have a negative impact on our health.
