Is Daylight Savings Time Worth the Trouble?
Spring ahead, fall behind… We all know that the day we “spring forward” into daylight savings time is one of the most unpleasant days of the spring season–losing an hour of sleep overnight. What could be worse? The groggy morning afterward actually sees a spike in accidents and medical emergencies, which is why many are in favor of ending daylight savings. The debate over daylight savings time has been going around for years. The most common reasons people want to get rid of daylight saving time are better sleep, reduced risk of heart issues, reduced risk of strokes, energy savings, fewer auto accidents, ending religious dilemmas, and changing crime rates. My opinion, based on the information provided above, is that we should keep the same time all year around. The reason that I say that is because changing the time is pointless. Why would anyone want to change the time to lose sleep or gain it? If we keep it all the same time, then we wouldn't have to worry about the stress of it! We can focus more on being happy and, of course, getting a goodnight sleep on our normal schedule. So that being said, ask yourself this question: which is better, daylight savings time or standard time?
