@Rosie : 日光节约时间会对健康产生负面影响,需要采取措施来应对。 @Kyra : 即使是一小时的时差也会扰乱我们的昼夜节律,导致类似时差反应的症状,并可能引发健康问题,例如交通事故、心脏病发作和某些类型的中风。日光节约时间实际上是为了大公司利益,而非农民。标准时间比日光节约时间更利于健康和安全。为了适应日光节约时间,应该在调时前几天开始提前15分钟睡觉和吃饭,睡前应避免咖啡因和酒精。良好的睡眠习惯对于适应时差至关重要。最佳睡眠温度在60到67华氏度之间,睡前热水澡也能帮助降低体温,促进睡眠。晚上减少光线,早上增加光照,有助于调节睡眠。睡前应限制电子设备的使用,因为蓝光会影响睡眠。日出闹钟可以帮助人们在早晨更容易起床。早晨进行户外活动有助于调节生物钟。为了应对日光节约时间,最重要的是调节光线,晚上减少光线,早上增加光线。 @Somini Sengupta : 我正在报道气候变化,这与日光节约时间对人体的影响一样,都是对人类生活方式的挑战,需要我们去关注和适应。
