Sleep experts warn that staying sprung forward disrupts our body's internal clock, which prefers to be in sync with standard time as it follows the the sun's position. Early morning light is especially important because it sends a signal to our bodies to stop producing melatonin — the sleep hormone — making us feel awake throughout the day. The hour shift can leave people sleep deprived, and over time, can increase the risk of obesity and even cancer. Meanwhile, losing out on daylight can lead to depression. Where the sunrises are late and days are short, those most affected are people who work long hours and have little control over their work schedules, according to Jay Pea, founder of Save Standard Time. "Permanent daylight saving time is most harmful, generally, to people in the service industry, essential workers, persons of lower income status and even populations of color," he says, adding that some may end up commuting to and from work in the dark. It's also harmful to kids, who already wake up early for school, and who are at a greater risk of getting hit by cars if they have to head out in the dark.
