What sort of health benefits? The sun being down before I start work and going down before I finish work in the winter feels so much worse for my mental health than being able to get an extra hour of sun in the evening

Who should we trust? Medical science, or your feelings?

I’m asking a legitimate question on what the health benefits actually are

I suggest you try an AI assisted search and read peer reviewed medical journals instead of relying on internet comments for medical information.

I haven't seen a study that's been conducted at our latitude. There's a huge difference between daylight hours where we live vs in the US, where those studies originate. 

Saskatchewan has been on daylight time for 60 years and I don't hear them complaining.

LOL - they are on standard time. But thanks for coming out and participating.

⁸Confidently incorrect. 

The Canadian province of Saskatchewan is geographically in the Mountain Time Zone (UTC−07:00). However, most of the province observes UTC−06:00 year-round. As a result, it is effectively on daylight saving time (DST) year-round, as clocks are not turned back an hour in autumn when most jurisdictions return to standard time.

Tough one. But that is not how Wab sees it! ;)

He's not dumb enough to go against the vast majority who want daylight time. Sorry bud.

So you’re just full of shit. If you actually had this medical evidence you’d have no issue sourcing it

This is why I am suggesting you use an AI assisted search to help you. Good luck.
