1000 words comment on a paper published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine by a panel of experts. My point is authors address the magnitude of the change (one hour) but fail to consider in any way its seasonal features. DST is not a random change of an hour but an specific change on specific dates and in a specific direction ---spring forward, fall back---. DST is the way many contemporary societies handles the seasonality. The way many contemporary societies turn a nonseasonal clock (the mechanical clock) into a seasonal clock.
