Starting this weekend, Albertans will no longer need to change their clocks twice a year as the province moves to permanent daylight time, known as Alberta Time (ABT). That means no more turning the clocks back one hour in November or moving them forward one hour in March, something we’ve been doing since 1972. Albertans will now have one consistent time throughout the year. But how will that impact our brains and our health?
University of Lethbridge neuroscience professor Dr. Rob McDonald says the change could affect people’s biological clocks, particularly with darker winter mornings
