If we stay on Daylight Savings time all year, what happens to the hour we lost? Do we all just lose an hour of our lives?
Finally when you say ... there's an hour of my life I'll never get back ... it's actually true
Elderly people with Dementia do not adapt well to the time change twice a year.
I have seen this myself, and Hospice workers agree it causes widespread problems.
This is on top of serious problems at nursing homes on the 11 PM to 7 AM shift where frequent staffing absentee problems result in the lights being left on and widespread noise from a few patients leading to most patients never getting “deep sleep.”
Lack of sleep is one reason 50% of nursing home residents die within six months, and 80% die within a year.
