Stop Turning the Clocks Back! Messing with time twice a year has NO benefits!
There is NO extra hour in bed when the clocks go back - not if you have children! Our body clocks cannot adjust so quickly and it just affects our health! When the clocks go back heart attacks increase by 24%, car accidents increase by 17% and work productivity goes down! So why do it?
It doesn't benefit farmers - it disrupts animals' schedules!
Researchers found assault rates are higher when the clocks go back and in spring they observed the opposite. People are more alert in the morning and more tired at the end of a working day. Driving home in the dark causes MORE accidents! Kids have no play time outside after school. Dogs don't get walked.
