More details

2. Economic Inefficiency: Modern research shows negligible or no energy savings from daylight saving time.
3. Education and Work Disruption: Misaligned biological and work/school clocks reduce productivity and learning efficiency.
4. Increased Road Accidents: Time changes cause driver fatigue, leading to more accidents.
Preserve standard time for public health and safety.
