Jamie Dimon says permanent daylight saving time needs "more morning light and less evening light"
“more morning light and less evening light”
Congress has advanced legislation to permanently adopt daylight saving time, a move backed by President Trump. However, experts warn of negative consequences. The change would leave many commuting in darkness during winter mornings, potentially disrupting circadian rhythms and increasing risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, according to reports. Orthodox Jewish and Muslim prayer schedules could also face complications, and airlines may need up to two years to adjust their timetables. Stanford sleep researcher Jamie Zeitzer argued that permanent standard time would be a healthier alternative, noting that people require more morning sunlight and less evening light to maintain balanced daily rhythms.
