Daylight saving will go ahead as planned in Victoria despite experts warning of health and socioeconomic consequences if clocks change by an hour. Monash University professors suggested Victorians losing an hour of sleep during coronavirus lockdown on October 4 at 2am would present "greater risk of having disrupted circadian rhythms" which is linked to poor mood, sleep and general health.The experts put forward a proposal to Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt in March, claiming the changeover to daylight saving time would trigger concerning "body clock" disruption.
