Are you ready to change the clock on Sunday? Is springing forward or falling back still an idea worth practicing? Those ready to end Daylight Savings argue it is inconvenient and has negative health and productivity effects. Those who want to keep Daylight Savings argue the time change’s effects are temporary and helps improve our quality of life. Now we debate: Is It Time to End Daylight Savings Time? 

 

 

Arguing Yes: Joan Costa-i-Font, Health Economist at the London School of Economics  

Arguing No: Binyamin Appelbaum, Member of the New York Times Editorial Board 

 

Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates 


Note: We have employed the colloquial ‘Daylight Savings Time’ phrasing used by our debaters and moderator.
