Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

Is there a study about brown fat that correlates?

How does this relate to daylight savings?

There is no reference to daylight savings in the post or article anywhere that i can find.

Why would you think it relates to daylight savings?

I wonder if this is why everyone is in such a good and sociable mood around the holidays?

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?

Could this effect SAD at all?
