Daylight Savings Time and Mood Disorders

I can't stand the time change. It is initially somewhat disruptive to my sleep regimen and getting dark at 5pm is just lousy. With regard to patients there is a definite uptick in mood dysregulation both in the fall and spring. I keep hoping it will become a thing of the past and wonder if looking at it from a financial standpoint ie. increased inpatient hospitalizations, MVAs etc might aid in abolishing this outdated tradition. Your thoughts?
