Physiological and Social Foundations of Seasonal Time Changes

A recent study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science investigates the relationship between seasonal time changes and variations in sunrise times. Researchers Jorge Mira Pérez from the University of Santiago de Compostela and José María Martín-Olalla from the University of Seville analyzed how these adjustments align with physiological and social factors, as well as their potential health impacts.

The study explores the question of what constitutes an optimal start to the day, considering fluctuations in sunrise throughout the year. The researchers examined both biological rhythms and societal routines to assess whether seasonal time changes serve a functional purpose. Their analysis includes a review of existing literature on health outcomes associated with these practices, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of their effects. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions about the relevance and implications of adjusting clocks twice annually.
