Health Over Time Change: Stop Daylight Saving in the United Kingdom

Petition Details

We, the undersigned, urge the UK Government to reconsider adopting daylight saving time due to its negative impacts:
1.Health Risks: Changes disrupt circadian rhythms, increasing risks of sleep disorders and heart diseases.

Additional Information

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.
