Reply to comment by Evilsmiley in The length of daylight hours impacts opioid receptor levels in brown fat. When daylight hours shorten, the receptor activity levels elevate. A similar phenomenon also takes place in the brain. Both phenomena help people and animals in the adaptation to seasonal changes. by universityofturku

Not that it’s related directly but I’m wondering what daylight savings does to what is otherwise a biological mechanism for handling seasonal change.

Are we doing ourselves a disservice? Time change always messes me up. Do we have the science to support removing it, finally?
