Daylight Saving Time

DST (Daylight saving time ) falls on this weekend in US. Since the so called “Energy Policy Act of 2005”

But “Does Daylight Saving Time Save Energy?” The research says no. HT: Marginal Revolution.

And in Time out of Mind:

Studies have shown the alarming extent of the problem: office workers are
no longer able to stay focused on one specific task for more than about three
minutes, which means a great loss of productivity. The misguided notion that
time is money actually costs us money.

And it costs us time. People in industrial nations lose more years from
disability and premature death due to stress-related illnesses like heart
disease and depression than from other ailments. In scrambling to use time to
the hilt, we wind up with less of it.
