Hello Everybody,

We’re just a few weeks away from the most dreaded Sunday in March –
spring forward. Clocks move an hour forward, and we lose an hour of
sleep. Daylight saving time is a nuisance. But it turns out it can also
impact our health. In the days after DST, people are at a higher risk
of stroke, heart attack, and depressive symptoms. Fatal traffic
accidents increase by 6%. Philip says DST no longer serves a purpose,
and is putting people at risk. Sign his petition to end daylight saving
time for good.

End Daylight Saving Time

5,179 have signed Philip Bernard’s petition. Let’s get to 7,500!

During the week after the shift to DST, research shows an associated
rise in:

Cardiovascular disease, with a 24% higher risk of heart attacks.
Injuries, including a 6% spike in fatal car accidents. Stroke rate,
which increases by 8%. Mental health and cognitive issues, with an 11%
spike in depressive episodes. Digestive and immune-related diseases,
such as colitis, which increase by 3% in females over age 60.

Our internal clocks regulate processes including liver function, the
immune system, and our body’s physiology, which means any disruption
can have significant effects.

According to a 2008 U.S. Department of Energy report, the energy
savings from switching between daylight saving time and standard time
were negligible. Daylight saving time, therefore, no longer serves us
any purpose.

Let's end this insane practice. End Daylight Savings Time NOW!
