Some people refer to daylight saving time as daylight savings time or summer time. In daylight saving time, we have more evening hours and less morning hours since a clock is advanced by an hour. During spring, the clock is adjusted one hour ahead and during autumn, they are adjusted one hour back. Therefore, an hour of sleep is lost in spring and an extra hour of sleep is gained in autumn. Energy crisis resulted in the invention of the daylight saving time. We don’t need the daylight saving time in this era. The following are the major reasons why I support the end of the daylight saving time.
There have been an increase in the number of road deaths because of the daylight saving time. After adjusting our clocks forward, drivers sleep for reduced hours. Austin C an economist discovered this after doing four tests. In spring, a lot of road accidents happen due to one hour of sleep being lost and this has led to more deaths. The End Daylight Saving Time Petition should be approved in order to cut down on the number of road accidents.
A lot of people have had heart attacks because of DST. After advancing the clocks by an hour, a lot of people have had heart attacks. DST leads to immediate blocking of the blood vessels to the heart. Research shows that the risk of having a heart attack after losing an hour of sleep is very high. DST should be abolished in order to reduce cases of heart attack.
Daylight saving time has been proved to increase the energy costs rather than reducing the costs. The reason why DST was proposed was to save on energy usage. Since we no longer have an energy crisis, DST should be abolished.
Researchers have found that abolishing daylight saving time will cut down on the energy bills. The daylight saving time will enable one to save on the lighting cost since the bulbs will be off for more hours but the heating and air conditioning costs are hiked. The extra hour of extended daylight will increase the cost of energy used in air conditioning and this is the reason by the daylight savings time should be abolished.
Record keepers, employees, and travelers are affected negatively by DST. If you are working at night and the clock is advanced by an hour, you will lose one working hour.
Research shows that daylight savings cause signs similar to those of jetlag. Immediately daylight savings time is activated, a lot of people complain of symptoms such as those of jetlag the next morning because of losing an hour.
In conclusion, daylight saving time is an outdated practice and should be abolished.
