Pictured is San Diego’s Gaslamp in its early days. Modern day Gaslamp Quarter plays host to\u00a0Fallback Festival<\/a>\u00a0 (Nov.5, 2017.) It’s a fitting tribute to the era in which Daylight Savings Time or DST was introduced. Activities include pumpkin seed spitting, bubble gum blowing, pie eating and all things old-fashioned.<\/p>\n

\n4. It could result in more heart attacks.
\n5. There is an increase in suicide risk for vulnerable individuals.
\n6. There are no signficant energy savings, said the National Bureau of Standards.
\n7.\u00a0Negative behavioral effects are seen in children during the days following daylight savings switches.
\n8. The one hour time change, even adding an hour of needed sleep, can be detrimental to the brain’s delicate circadian clock, according to studies.
