DST?

Daylight Savings Time — the silly thing we Americans still do.

Oh so do we here 🫶💜

There was a discussion going around about not doing it 🤷‍♂️🤔

I’m unfortunately a staunch advocate of DST because Standard Time triggers my seasonal depression.

I dread November every single year, and rejoice in March.

Oh my god sameeeeee 💜💜💜

I feel like a shadow during that period 🫠🫠

Ever tried a SAD lighting rig?

🤔 Never heard of it

I meant the lighting💜

Ohhh. Here you go. I used one when I lived in Toronto. Five months of grey skies every year did a number on me.

My doctor recommended it but I’ve yet to buy one. I think it should help.

Wouldn’t standard time be ok once you permanently adjusted? Seems there’s some like you stuck on the other side of it. DST messes with my sleep whereas standard doesn’t. Genuinely curious…I could be missing something about Std that I didn’t realize.

I’m not sure. My doctor explained to me that folks with clinical depression or bipolar disorder have a spot on their scalps that is sensitive to sunlight and the less that area receives natural light, the more mood instability one has.

Maybe it’s different for SAD. Permanent standard time sounds like a recipe for misery for me.
