Rejected petition Stop changing clock times
Keep the clock time as Summer time and do not keep changing come winter, it serves no real purpose other than create problems, I have asked many - many people and I have not come across a single person who does not want this stupidity of changing clock time to end
More details
Changing clock time every year creates many health issues for a lot of people and have been shown to disrupt sleep patterns and have negative effects on your brain health. A Swedish study found that the risk of having a heart attack increases in the first three weekdays after changing clock time changing of time.
On Mondays after the clock change there were more workplace injuries, and the injuries were of greater severity compared to other Mondays.
The time change has also been linked to miscarriages for in vitro fertilization patients. There is no solid reason to keep changing clock times other than to create problems and it is long past that this foolhardy practice is stopped at once
