If I Could Turn Back Time: Daylight Savings Time and health

By Karen L. Kier

If I Could Turn Back Time was a 1989 song released by Cher. The video for the song was filmed on the USS Missouri naval battleship. As a performer, she has accomplished what no other female singer has done before. Cher has had a #1 hit in seven consecutive decades, with her first in 1965 with Sonny Bono.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) was first implemented in the United States with the Standard Time Act of 1918 to increase daylight to conserve energy during World War I.  This was instituted again with World War II.  After the war, local jurisdictions were able to choose whether to use DST or not until 1966.  In that year, The Uniform Time Act was passed for DST.  

There has been significant debate about DST at both the federal and state levels. Despite the debate, no real action has changed the current standard.  Does the impact on health change the debate?
