I think there are a lot of “scientific” arguments presented, both pro and con DST, that are smoke and mirrors.

One argument I saw talked about the detrimental effects of 1 hour less sleep each night. The day still has 24 hours, and work hours are still the same, so there is no reason to get less sleep.

In February 1974 Florida repealed Nixon’s permanent DST law because children were being hit by cars because it was dark when they went to school. Why is this not an issue for people living in higher northern latitudes (Canada, Alaska) where the number of “daylight hours” is greatly reduced in winter regardless of STD or DST?

“Science” suggests that there are serious health issues when the body’s circadian clock does not match the natural solar clock. Aren’t a lot of people exposed to this problem regardless of STD time or DST if they live close to a time zone border?

Science says the body can easily accommodate a circadian time shift of about 1 hour per day, meaning that travelling to a location with a 5 hour time shift (eg, Europe) requires about 5 days to fully adapt. With the STD/DST change being implemented on a Saturday night, why should adaptation take a week (the argument being more car accidents, etc for days following the change)?

Perhaps another option is to leave the clocks alone (the argument being it is a pain to adjust all the clocks in the house) and just shift activity times (work, school) by 30 minutes every 3 months to make the changes more gradual.

Over the years, companies have paid scientists to tell us that adding lead to gasoline wasn't harmful. Scientists also told us that cigarette smoking was fine. Some people will say anyting for a buck. Just because someone has a job as a scientist, that doesn't mean he speaks the truth.

DST good -
Not many "good" links on the first page. There are even links to the harmful effects on this page. See what is good about it and see how that compares with the bad. Basically, it's unnatural.

As they say, "Follow the money." "According to Downing, the effort to roll the clocks ahead is also an initiative pushed by the business community." Changing the clocks proved to be a major benefit to golfers, believe it or not. "It turns out, the farmers have always hated daylight saving." Check out the link below.

If businesses make money from it, there's little chance that it will disappear.

Unless things change, the United States will be switching to Daylight Saving Time permanently. What do you think of this? Scientists don't like it because it goes against the body's natural clock. How about the rest of the world? It won't be as easy to figure time differences by simply counting time zones, depending on what time other countries use. Some countries change the time, and some used to change. Maybe I'll decide for myself and use that time as my own standard.
