In Canada, daylight savings time was standardized twice in 1963. Only Saskatchewan and more recently the Yukon will not this changeI don’t prefer to keep the same time all year round.
This is good news, we will return to standard time, that is, closer to solar time, at the same time we will gain an hour
says Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa’s School of Psychology, Joseph De Koninck.
The very good news is that it gets light an hour earlier in the morning.
he adds.
According to Mr De Koninck, In Winnipeg, the sun rises around 8:20 a.m., which means that from Sunday it rises at 7:20 a.m., which is much better, otherwise we go to school or work in the dark
.
In any case, it is much better to have the light early in the morning
he hammers.
The only downside to this change is that it gets dark an hour earlier in the afternoon.
he admits.
Otherwise, Darkness comes earlier and can have a more depressive effect
.
Keep the normal time for health
Scientists are divided on whether or not to keep standard time year-round at the expense of daylight saving time.
In the spring we switch to daylight saving time, which means we shift the light towards the evening, it gets light later in the evening, but it also gets dark quite late in the morning in March when we change the hour
stresses Mr De Koninck.
For Mr De Koninck, The problem if we switch to daylight saving time all year round, in Winnipeg it gets light from 9 a.m., it’s not good for health
.
” Daylight Saving Time is a bad representation, it’s not light we save, we shift towards evening, it’s really a lie […] much to the chagrin of our internal clock. »
According to the expert, scientists recommend that we stop the time change and keep the normal time, i.e. the solar time
for the benefit of the human and animal organism.
As it gets late light in June, we tend to go to bed late which means we sleep less.
But, he said Sleep is the common denominator of mental and physical health, if you’re fine and you’re not getting enough sleep it’s not working, you need to maximize everything you can do to get the most out of it
.
Though there is a strong desire among scientists to keep standard time year-round, thinks Joseph De Koninck a bit pessimistic
On the question.
The movement of scientists is strong, especially in the United States, but they are also divided.
