DST stands for Daylight Savings Time and consists in moving the time forward during the spring and then back again, come the fall. The object is to add more sunlight hours to the standard day. The concept seems simple, yet it has brought about some controversies and heated debates. Let us, therefore, examine some arguments for and against such practice. To begin with, it is widely believed that natural sunlight promotes active lifestyles. When the sun is up, people engage more willingly in outdoor activities, such as jogging, barbequing and sports. What is more, more daylight means longer evenings, therefore people can treat themselves to a nice dinner in a restaurant or enjoy long late walks around the city. Although some people see additional
David Prerau claims that “another area of DST impact is crime reduction” (Prerau) as “crime [is] believed to be influenced by lighting” (Prerau). However, after DST ends, time shifts back an hour causing sunset to be earlier. If crime is affected by lighting conditions, then an earlier sunset would result in an increased crime rate.
Ben Hogan, a famous golfer, once said, “ the only thing a golfer needs is more daylight”. Daylight saving time not only impacts the world’s golf games, it also affects the economy, outdoor activities and comes with many health concerns.Daylight saving time(also know as DST) was used as a way to save energy and have more natural light in the summertime, but it was as affected and it also came with many consequences to the countries and states that still use this time. It was first used in the USA in 1918 and has been on and off for many years , but now DST is used seven months out of the year. There are two times during the year we change the clocks. The first Sunday in March, we “spring forward” with the clocks and the second Sunday in November we “fall back” one hour. However, daylight-saving time should be abolished from the rest of the world that uses this time throughout the year.
There are many ways in which scientists and researchers try to understand the molecular uniqueness and physiology of living organisms. One of these ways is the Circadian clock, this clock transfers the physiology and behaviors of mammalians into rhythms that are coordinated with the 24hr solar system. This system can be affected by environmental factors such as the food, temperature and parasites. The circadian rhythms play a role in gene expression to produce protein. Gene expression is displayed through the central dogma of (DNA RNA protein). How the clock work with the 24hr solar day is that it allows gene expression every 24hr to tell when a physiological process is most active. And any damage made to the DNA is more effective
Daylights Savings time in many ways could be helpful to many people all over the United States and selected parts of Europe. Daylight Savings time is a procedure that every living beings in the areas have to follow and obey. Every spring the clocks are all moved forward ahead an hour and during the time of fall clocks are sent back an hour back to how it was previously before the time method had been introduced. In the years of making the method. It had never been an actual thing that unlike today we actually use. In the year of 1784 this individual that was named Benjamin Franklin had come up with a way that could help with conserving resources for war effort. The acceptance for the procedure required a long wait until it would be accepted
The alarm beeps again sounding like a fire alarm going off. School starts before 8am. Using your fingers to hold open your eyes and dragging your feet, you get in the car and drive yourself to school. Will you even be able to make it through your day? School days for teens start to early. Teens aren't getting the sleep recommended for a healthy start to their day. Later start times for middle and high schools are proven to benefit both students and teachers.
Just like all of Earth’s green, society too has found a simple way to use the sun to its fullest potential. Daylight Saving Time is a function that has allowed us to enjoy longer summer days simply by moving our clocks an hour ahead in the spring. This method had became something to consider since Ben Franklin idealized it. Of course it's not the same for everyone, depending on where you are may change when Daylight Saving Time occurs. Although some may say Daylight Saving Time is pointless, it is vital that DST has its benefits.
In Losing Sleep at the Market: The Daylight Saving Anomaly, the author Mark Kamstra discuses how the stock market is affected due to daylight savings. He starts off by informing the reader with background information about sleep. This allows for the reader to understand why the stock market is affected. Kamstra then informs the audience of how daylight savings affects our sleep. The author uses this information to show how the stock market is affected in the period of those two weeks.
Daylight savings time has been something that individuals born post World War I have always had implemented in their lives. Many people never really consider the point of daylight savings time until it rolls around twice a year nor do they realize the original purpose. There are approximately 70 countries out of 196 that observe daylight savings time, at least in a portion of the country. Daylight savings time has had many changes throughout the history of it, but is it time to move on? Although there may be advantages such as more natural light, but disadvantages such as the disruptions with our circadian rhythms outweigh the advantages.
Daylight Saving Times is something we do here in the United States every year, where we move our clocks back an hour in the fall, and move them forward an hour in the spring. Daylight Saving Time was established during WWI in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October. Although it was said to save a lot of energy, today it is extremely difficult to determine the energy saved by this, and it is possible that little or no energy is being saved by Daylight Saving. Which poses the question: Is Daylight Saving necessary in the United States? There are many pros and cons to it, but the cons outnumber the cons, and something should be done about it.
Daylight saving time has been around for almost as long as advanced civilizations have been here, all for the sole reason that people tend to rise with the sun. The body’s natural response is to awaken with the sun, many people view this as a biological clock. With new technology, and an abundance of artificial lighting, many people wonder that if loosing an hour of sleep is still needed? Clearly this is a question that has been asked by many people, including myself, no one likes to wake up in the dark, and lose an hour of sleep. Daylight saving time can cause confusion, accidents, negative psychological effects, and general discomfort. Though it previously made sense to adjust the clocks twice a year, I believe, it is now not necessary to have daylight saving time.
Don't you hate waking up early for school in the morning? Most high school students wake up before the sun rises just to become ready for school. Teenage brains do not begin to function that early considering many are tired from staying up late the previous night. The National Sleep Foundation reported that most teens do not retain enough shuteye, one study found that only 15% reported sleeping eight 1/2 hours on school nights. That fact was extremely true for me when I attended high school. I barely was able to wake up, get dressed, and be in school on time since I was so tired. In my opinion school days should start later, precisely in between 9- 10 o'clock. If the school day started later attendance would improve, students will be more prepared, and student's attitudes and grades may improve.
Anyone can attest to the positive effects of sunlight, but it doesn’t just help the plants grow, it is necessary to us as human beings. Its effects go far beyond just brightening your mood or giving you a beautiful day at the beach. The amount of sun we are exposed to can have profound effects. Sunlight is necessary for good mental health. It keeps our hormones balanced, affects our daily motivation, and changes our perspectives on the different aspects of life all together. Furthermore, it has a dramatic effect on us physically by keeping our immune system at its best and giving our bodies essential vitamins that we could not live without. The main point is sunlight has a direct effect on a person’s mental wellbeing, physical health, and overall quality of life
When I was younger and felt “under the weather” or was having a bad day, my mother always used to kick me to the outdoors and tell me to soak up some sun. I always thought that it was all mumbo jumbo, the sun can not really have an effect on my mood, can it? As a young child I thought it was a myth, just another way for my mother to subtly tell me to stop moping around the house and get me out into the fresh air. Come to find out, her words of wisdom were true, the sun really does have an impact on your mood! Have you ever felt like you were walking on sunshine, and nothing could get you down? Or have you ever needed more than just a couple of pushes on the snooze button yet still to wake up and find yourself in a bad mood already, only to get worse when you step outside? All you want to do is crawl in a corner and hide for the rest of the day? These might just be reactions to the effects of light and color. Light and color, natural as well as indoor lighting, can play tricks with how the body thinks, effect sleep habits, and effect overall wellness.
In today’s society, some parents create curfews for their children while others allow their children to create their own curfews. Numerous people argue that setting curfews for teenagers help them refrain from taking part in mischief and help them to develop into superior adults. The remaining group of people state that curfews would make teenagers rebel. Teenage curfews produce different positive but many negative views in parents and teenagers.
Exercising outdoors will increase one’s adherence to physical activity. People’s fascination and attention increases when outdoors, which will raise their motivation to exercise. Statistics prove that people today in North America are going outside and exercising less, so the extra motivation is needed. Promoting exercise is one of the best ways to combat obesity, and outdoor exercise should be a priority. One can also find mental health benefits from exercising outdoors; such as higher feelings of restorativeness, which reduces stress. If runners choose to run outdoors, they will have greater geographical awareness. Exercising outdoors has greater benefits than being trapped indoors to
