Daylight saving time (DST) should be abolished due to its harmful effects on health, safety, and its lack of modern-day benefits. Studies show that the risk of heart attacks increases by 24% in the days following the spring clock change, as the disruption to sleep patterns throws off our circadian rhythms. The shift also raises the risk of strokes by 8%, with additional impacts on mental health, including higher rates of depression. Moreover, DST is linked to a 6% increase in car accidents in the week following the time change, due to driver fatigue and slower reaction times, endangering both motorists and pedestrians. While DST was initially introduced to conserve energy, research indicates that the practice results in less than 0.5% energy savings, an amount that is now negligible in today’s world of modern lighting and technology. Eliminating DST would improve public health, reduce traffic accidents, and remove an outdated practice that no longer serves its intended purpose.
