Abolish Daylight Savings

The issue

Daylight Saving Time causes more issues than it supposedly fixes.The week after the change every 6 months has the highest spikes of heart attacks, suicides, and car accidents (outside of holiday weekends). It also doesn't save any electricity, in fact it's more likely to be costing more energy (around 1%).Those that believe it benefits the farmers are incorrect because they go off the sun rather than any clock, cows have their own rythym of milking times and are happier and more productive if this doesn't change. The Circadian rhythm is the human's body clock, when faced with adapting to a time change, the body is put under stress which is reflected in suicide, heart attack and car crash rates. On top of that, mother's with young children have to deal with changing a routine that may have taken months to establish. Overall it is completly pointless in our modern era. I am therefore seeking signatures to partition the government to change our current daylight savings scheme by either keeping summer hours or shifting back half an hour at the next change and leaving it there for good.
