So the biannual change does not affect you more than a standard that does not change would?
That is hard for me to believe, though I would love to learn more about the specific disorder you are talking about. I am not a lawyer, though I wonder if it could be an ADA type of thing that cannot be discriminated with your job, so you might just be able to hit work an hour later & use the Americans with Disabilities Act to meet your sleep requirements.
My job already accommodates it. Just because you don’t have a rare circadian rhythm disorder doesn’t mean you should doubt people who do. Look into how DST affects circadian rhythms in general. It’s not a good thing.
I probably should have written that as more of a trust but verify response. I need to do better at that, I used to take that approach all the time when I was younger & it served me well.
That said, I would hope many of this board are aware of how the transition to DST disrupts circadian rhythms, though it seems current recommendations are that we should shift over the course of a week by 10 minutes each night to prevent the effects for most individuals.
I was wondering if there was a neurological disease, that made it specifically worse to be locked into that later time vs the earlier time?
I am sorry it is so rough for you, I have some conditions that have made life terribly hard for me to function the way I had 20 years ago, though I am hoping that with proper work & treatment I can get back to a semblance of normalcy.
I am thinking this announcement was more along the line of comms than anything else.
If a state legislature is willing, it should be able to be ignored. Arizona doesn't recognize it.
