I’d like to make three points in response to your Friday story on daylight saving time (“Spring forward again: Nevada’s time-change fight stalls as health risks tick up”):
1. The article assumes that a person goes to bed at the same time every day. Do you know anyone who does that? Most people regularly vary bedtime by an hour or more. This one-hour change is no big deal.
2. The article quotes UNLV professor Manoj Sharma warning about altered sleep patterns. I travel a lot across America. It takes little or no time to adjust to two- or three-hour time zone changes. When I “adjust” to Eastern Standard Time in New York, I don’t suffer health issues.
3. Nevada’s legislators have a lot more important issues to deal with than this one.
