How the Earth's Axis Affects Your Sleep Habits

What does this have to do with the earth's axis?

Who writes the headlines for these articles, anyway?

It may not be the best headline related to the displayed text, but if you follow the link to the original article you'll see.

Light affects your sleep habits, as the article admits. Time, as in what the clock says, is artificial and would not coincide with sunrise unless our clocks were light sensitive. Clocks are the result of our desire to regiment our lives so that we can all "get to work" on time.

If we were all growing potatoes or hunting for our meat, we wouldn't need clocks. Plants and animals can't "tell time".

Aside from the fact that it ultimately leads to an "info-graphic" (commercial) I don't see much utility in the article.

In the interest of full disclosure, I live in Arizona. We don't recognize daylight saving. Our clocks stay the same year round.

Hay Lyn, we knew there was something odd about you. Just like an analog wall clock that correct twice a day.

Are you kidding? I'm lucky if I'm correct once a day.

Aww, your always correct.

...and, I *second* this statement!

If there is one, daylight savings time is an insane, and (as a duplication unneeded) invention. No research, iust some legislators felt it to be a good idea. Scouts honor, would I lie about our worthy legislators?!?

As far as the Earth's axis shifting. Yes, magnetically, crudely, every 50 -100 thousand years. Mechanically, much, much longer.

But, what does all this gobbledygook has to do with the beef's price in Argentina, I wonder?!?

Russia has decided to not change anymore to summer and winter time, they are staying on summer time all the year round as more light in the afternoon and evening suits humans generally better.

The UK is thinking of changing to Central European time permanently, which would give the UK "summer time" in the winter and double summertime in the summer, something I personally see as very positive.

Also business will run better if this happens, at this moment Europeans have to wait two hours for the UK to come online (on any day of the year as the change happens parallel to each other) as Europe starts work at 8am and the UK at 9am, which combined with the one hour time difference = 2 hours.....

I hope the UK changes.....

Modern society seems to confuse a clock with time. A clock is a measuring device while time is an experience. Shuffling hands on a clock one way or another has nothing to do with time.
