Researchers find no solid evidence daylight saving time harms mental health
Original: No solid evidence daylight savings time affects mental health, researchers find
Researchers have concluded that there is no solid evidence linking daylight saving time to effects on mental health, the Guardian reports. The finding pushes back against widespread claims that the clock changes trigger depression, anxiety or other psychiatric problems, and may inform ongoing debates in several countries about whether to abolish seasonal time changes altogether.
Why now: Lawmakers and the public are actively debating whether to end seasonal clock changes, so new evidence on the health effects attracts attention.
