The Rock & Roll Shrink Radio Show Ep. 126 - Time - Dealing with DST

Tonight’s topic obviously is because the Daylight SAVING Time (not Savings) change just happened last weekend, and as every year, many people are up in arms about it. Some of these complaints are pop culture and memes jumping on the latest bandwagon, while some of them may be legitimately problematic or harmful.

It is far more Politics and Social Commentary than it is a matter of Psychology, but we’d still like to examine the phenomenon of the backlash around DST, and the realities of mental health consequences it may or may not cause.

Tonight, we will discuss:

1. The History and Purpose of DST
2. Purported Benefits of DST (heavy on social and mental)
3. Mental Health Issues that stem from DST
4. Closing Remarks & Suggestions

We'll start off the evening with some topic-relevant Classic Rock played by Dr. Mathis, followed by Classic Rock trivia in "The Rock & Roll Shrink Recalls," followed by our topic discussion.
