As the United States rolled back the clocks one hour this month to observe the end of Daylight Saving Time, many people got a bit more sleep than usual – but some not as much as others. Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in Black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities, and these inequities can have long-term detrimental implications for physical health, even raising the risk of certain chronic diseases. Meanwhile, Daylight Saving Time itself – enacted in the US to reduce electricity usage by extending daylight hours – has long

More total BS "disproportionate impact" propaganda from the race baiters of the Enemedia.
Eye roll is the only response, well, perhaps a one finger salute, too.

Article is patently wrong. DST doesn't 'extend' daylight hours - it shifts them. To be so blatantly wrong means the rest of the driven isn't any better.
We all know that anything and everything has worse effects on 'communi-teees of color.

It must really suck to be a person of color. It seems they can't do ANYTHING that non people of color can do. Does that mean non people of color are superior? It seems that's what they're saying. People of color can't seem to know how to use a copier, get an I.D., pass a simple written test, do math, figure out how to use a computer and on and on and on. Yeah it must really suck to be so inferior. (according to the Dems)

It is true that obesity is a major factor associated with sleep apnea. I hope that Jacqueline isn’t inferring that the “communities” mentioned are more likely to be overweight.

I'd prefer that we all switch to Greenwich Mean Time. Because in setting up a computer one has to specify the time zone and whether or not DST is used in your location. Never had very many Y2K problems with pcs but several with DST problems. This article is almost as interesting as the ones that claim black folks are discriminated against because they don't have as many shade trees in their yards. Just think how many government employees are involved in counting trees in yards of different folks.

Of course, this inequity only impacts POCs in the USA, not POCs in Canada, Cuba, The Bahamas, and all of Europe from the UK to the Black Sea. POCs sleep great in those countries.

As a third grader at the start of WWII, it's my recollection that daylight savings was instituted so working people could tend to their Victory Gardens after work before nightfall. Now, it's my belief it's policy so golfers can play golf after work.

Here’s where this “expert” goes. This is not science.
“Poor sleep is associated with a host of poor health outcomes, including obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, including of the breast and colon. Many of these health outcomes are more prevalent in the Black population,” said Chandra Jackson, a researcher and epidemiologist with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who has been studying racial and ethnic disparities in sleep.
“Experimental as well as observational studies have linked sleep to these health outcomes. Therefore, sleep could be an important contributor,” she said. “Fortunately, sleep health is largely modifiable.”
As for the inequities seen in sleep health, it’s not that White adults don’t also experience a lack of sleep and its health consequences – but people of color appear to disproportionately experience them more, and that’s believed to be largely due to social systems in the United States.
In our household, we call that “a reach”. A long, long, circuitous, tattered, tangled, holey reach.
It would have been more honest if she’d just said “I don’t like DST” Full stop.

Breonna Taylor did not die from sleep deprivation. She died because she had two boyfiends - both drug dealers, adt served as bag woman for one of them.
On the morning of her death, Breonna was sleeping with boyfriend #2, and when the police showed up, knocked on the door, and shouted 'police!' her boyfriend #2 says he got out of bed and began shooting becuse he thought boyfriend #1 was going to break in, so boyfriend #2 went into the hallway facing the door and began shooting at police. When the police returned fire, Breonna had stupidly gone out into the hallway, and was hit by a police bullet.
The police in Louisville, that morning, conducted simultaneous raids on residences of people who were big time drug dealers. Nothing the police did, with one excception, was incorrect or illegal.
The one exception? They failed to search Breonna's residence after she was shot - her residence was raided because the police had videos of drugs being shipped to her residence.
Much of the media presented Breonna as an innocent victim of a police raid on the wrong apartment. , a medical assistant who was going to become a registered nurse. And while the nursing part was correct, she was not an innocent victim.
But the City of Louisville wtill chose to paycmillions of dollars to her family members.

Chandra Jadkson (who may be black) says insufficient sleep is a cause of colon cancer. Mayo Clinic has other ideas:
Factors that may increase your risk of colon cancer include:
Older age. Colon cancer can be diagnosed at any age, but a majority of people with colon cancer are older than 50. The rates of colon cancer in people younger than 50 have been increasing, but doctors aren't sure why.
African-American race. African-Americans have a greater risk of colon cancer than do people of other races.
A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps. If you've already had colon cancer or noncancerous colon polyps, you have a greater risk of colon cancer in the future.
Inflammatory intestinal conditions. Chronic inflammatory diseases of the colon, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, can increase your risk of colon cancer.
Inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risk. Some gene mutations passed through generations of your family can increase your risk of colon cancer significantly. Only a small percentage of colon cancers are linked to inherited genes. The most common inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risk are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Lynch syndrome, which is also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
Family history of colon cancer. You're more likely to develop colon cancer if you have a blood relative who has had the disease. If more than one family member has colon cancer or rectal cancer, your risk is even greater.
Low-fiber, high-fat diet. Colon cancer and rectal cancer may be associated with a typical Western diet, which is low in fiber and high in fat and calories. Research in this area has had mixed results. Some studies have found an increased risk of colon cancer in people who eat diets high in red meat and processed meat.
A sedentary lifestyle. People who are inactive are more likely to develop colon cancer. Getting regular physical activity may reduce your risk of colon cancer.
Diabetes. People with diabetes or insulin resistance have an increased risk of colon cancer.
Obesity. People who are obese have an increased risk of colon cancer and an increased risk of dying of colon cancer when compared with people considered normal weight.
Smoking. People who smoke may have an increased risk of colon cancer.
Alcohol. Heavy use of alcohol increases your risk of colon cancer.
Radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation therapy directed at the abdomen to treat previous cancers increases the risk of colon cancer.

I hate the twice-yearly time change. Most people feel that way, too. Ah, but...daylight savings time does not have a PAC handing out gobs of bribe money to politicians to make the change. Until that happens, the time changes will continue. A caveat: If cessation of time changes would make it even easier to steal elections or promote Democrat socialism, then it would quickly become law.

The researchers who make that claim appear to be the same researchers who claimed "the data" demonstrated that the greater the number of fire trucks sent to and present at a fire, the greater damage to property and the greater the loss of life. Their conclusion was to send fewer trucks, regardless of the size of the fire and its proximity to apartments and other high density housing. In drawing spurious conclusions from spurious data, they completely overlooked the fact that in the U.S. in particular, the more serious fires require multiple alarms be sent to a number of fire stations, thus a higher number of trucks are present at large, damaging fires in order to protect adjacent exposures (high rise apartments, day care centers, and schools) and to put out the dang big fire. They were all unaware that in most large fires, many of the fire trucks are on site because the trucks transported the needed firemen and their specialized equipment to perform rescues and chop/cut vents to aid in clearing the dangerous smoke and toxic fumes that kill the majority of victims of any fire.

Standard time-- all year round. Daylight savings time is nice but doing it permanently doesn't work. It was tried in the 70s and children had to go to school in the dark and in some places it didn't get light until 9:00 am. All so the sun would set at 5:00 instead of 4:00 in December.

Only racist lie-berals find "racism" everywhere they look.
Of course, it's extremely profitable for lie-berals to be racists and keep those "people of color" on the welfare plantations, beholden to "bid daddy lie-beral" to provide all their needs (in exchange for Demon-Rat votes in every election of course).

Oh what Bovine Scatology!
The clock shift serves to roughly align the beginning of the office, workday and school day to sunrise.
I was in high school when they tried 'year-round-Daylight Savings Time'. There were small children out waiting for the school bus in the January predawn darkness..... the coldest time of the coldest days of the year. Not a good idea.

Here's a novel idea. Every community has a perfectly vertical flagpole. Many homes have them too. When the shadow disappears completely, everyone set your watch for noon. Not only is DST a bad idea, the time zones were bad ideas too. Messes up the body clock. Make real noon into real noon again.
