sleep cycle disregulation effects are not trivial either
I get that there’ve been studies about this so it’s hard for me to argue, but I still can’t quite understand how it has such a strong effect. If someone happens to be busy one night and goes to sleep an hour later than usual it doesn’t seem like the end of the world to me.
because I’m up in the dark, working inside during the sunlight hours, and knock off just in time for the sun to disappear and take the dog for a run on a sport field under flood lights.
That’s the current pattern with changing the time back for the winter to try to get people more light. Daylight at the (eg) NYC latitude at the solstice is about 7 to 4:30, so most people get up with or before the sun, then leave work after it sets. Unless you’re proposing we shift back 2 hours, permanent summer clocks would only change that people would see the sun as they leave work rather than when they go to it.
Either way people with seasonal affective disorder still wouldn’t get enough sun.
I wouldn’t mind moving forward an hour permanently, but first light at 3 AM with a 4:30 sunrise fucking blows. I’d much rather have it be light until 9 than 8, and I suspect way more people are still awake until 9 than those who get up around 4.
(I guess here I’m a tankie? Still dunno wtf that’s about except a slur for ‘left of Biden’)
As far as I can make out, tankies are people who support communist governments even when they go way too far. So even though leaders like Jinping are essentially dictators, because they’re ostensibly communist the tankies support them.
At least that’s what I’ve seen from a few weeks on lemmy. I’m sure some tankies will be along to correct me soon.
There’s some religious history to them, but in general these days people are talking about the list of stones that American jewelers came up with in the early 20th century to try to sell more shit.
XcQ, link stays blue
what are they going to do pull you over
Yes. With missiles.
both in the psyche and in the body? When I am tried I can’t think well, when I am depressed it’s harder to perform a bench press than when I am not depressed.
Note however that those are both examples related to brain chemistry. OP’s meme seems to be pointing more toward the fact that it’s easy to see why people who lose a finger or who can’t move their bodies at all are still people, whereas that claim is more difficult to lay on bodies of people with no brain activity. Of course brain and body are linked but I’d argue that the “brain pilot model” is more accurate than “body and brain are inseparable in any practical sense” because you can lose pieces of the body while still retaining core elements of self, but that doesn’t work so well when losing parts of the brain.
There’s that joke about wearing regular clothes on Halloween to go as the “gifted kid”, and when people ask what you’re supposed to be you sigh and say you were supposed to be a lot of things.
At what scale? It’s losing an hour of sleep, which people who aren’t terribly overworked or on super tight schedules should be able to handle without much issue. I still don’t really see the difference between losing a single hour of sleep one day and moving clocks.
