“I feel like people voted for it and didn’t really understand it.'
the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. As for better health, however, the best available research on sleep and human circadian rhythms doesn’t bear that out, says Beth Malow, a professor of neurology and the director of the sleep division at Vanderbilt Medical Center. Malow gave testimony before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee last week urging lawmakers to consider making standard time, not daylight saving time, permanent instead.
Standard time is the “more natural time,” Malow explains, because the additional sun in the morning tells human brains it’s time to wake up, while the lack of evening light encourages sleep. During daylight saving time, “you’re getting too much light in the evening and not enough in the morning,” she says, which particularly affects people who have to be at work and school early in the day.
Should the Senate’s bill become the law of the land, its places like Rubio’s Florida that stand to gain. “It’s a state at the start of a time zone and as far south as you can get, so the sunrise and sunset times don’t vary as much,” Herzog explains. So, too, would the golf lobby, which hasa bump in afternoon sunlight as a boon for the industry. But teenagers would be chief among the victims, Herzog says, because their brains require morning sunlight to wake up.
