We've been doing it for decades, but Dr. Ryan McCorkle, emergency physician at St. David's Medical Center, says that constant gaining and losing an hour isn't exactly the best thing for our health.
Dr. McCorkle says people with certain pre-existing conditions should be especially careful.
"The four that I would mention, you know, most commonly would be hypertension, diabetes, anxiety and depression," Dr. McCorkle said. "Monitor your blood pressure, monitor your blood sugar, stay hydrated, try to avoid sleep disruption as much as you possibly can." In light of all this, state and federal lawmakers have been pushing to get rid of time changes. State Rep. Vicki Goodwin to observe "Standard time" or "Daylight Saving Time" year round and in Congress, there's legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent.
"Absolutely, I would advocate for that," said Dr. McCorkle. "I think twice a year to throw people's systems, you know, completely out of whack for something that seems fairly arcane. It's something that we can do, a small thing that we can do to not disrupt people's circadian rhythms and sleep patterns for no good reason."could also lead to negative health impacts.
