RE: Daylight Saving: Why Do We Change The Clocks, What Are The Benefits & Disadvantages?
End the clock-shifting nonsense. Pick a standard and stay with it. It doesn't help farmers, it doesn't help those of us with chronic illness, it doesn't save energy, but it does cause accidents and exacerbate health problems.
I think there's many pro's and con's to it.
Statistics have shown that the economy isn't really a major benefit, but I just think it's nice to get a little bit more daylight in countries where we don't get as much sun.
But then again, if the disadvantages outweigh, I agree that stopping it alltogether would make more sense.
But you don't get more daylight. The number of hours remains the same either way. What changes is when people have to wake up, and it constitutes a mandatory jet lag for everyone. Some people don't handle that very well.
