DAYLIGHT TIME DEBATE

By July 31, 2024No Comments

The value of daylight saving time is frequently debated. Now researchers at North Carolina State, University of South Carolina, University of Manitoba and California Baptist University tackled the question of whether onset of daylight saving time leads us to engage in unhealthy behaviors. They say negative feelings about time change were found in social media tweets. The study, in the Journal of Marketing, found calorie consumption from mainly unhealthy snacks increased following time change and visits to fitness centers dropped. While policy makers continue to debate the value of daylight saving time, the authors offer suggestions to consumers, such as avoid stocking up on unhealthy snacks. However, if you feel a lack of self-control, try getting support from peers.
