NSW should knock two months off daylight saving and let it run from November to March, farmers say, because post-pandemic work habits have made it redundant.
Greater work flexibility meant it was no longer necessary to ensure workers were in the office in Sydney at 9am, at the same time as their counterparts in Melbourne. Scientists say it should be abolished because waking in the dark affects one’s metabolism and in turn one’s cognitive ability.“Almost all our metabolism is controlled by our circadian clock and to synchronise that circadian clock you need bright light in the morning,” Frederic Gachon, from the University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience, said.
“All the advice from the sleep societies and so on is to abolish the daylight savings time and to permanently move to standard time, which is a more natural time.”Blayney cattle farmer Rebecca Price said that 16 years of forcing children out of bed in the morning had made her loathe extended daylight saving.
