Truth be told I shudder at the thought of setting my clocks for winter time. My sleep is f**ked up, there is no real benifit to me I still leave for work in the dark with the sun rising or get home in the with the sun setting most days. Always with me riding toward the sun.
I look forward to DST with anticipation every year I can finally get a full nights sleep and I can finally ride to or from work without facing into a rising / setting sun in one or both directions.

Interesting. As someone else suggested, she is actually saying they should leave time at Daylight Saving Time and not return to GMT in winter. She's not actually saying they should scrap DST, just that they should stay at 1 hour ahead of GMT all year around ... which means it is DST all year round and at the same time because there would be no change in time around the equinoxes there would no longer be a 'Daylight Saving Time'. Hmmm. Wonderful paradox.Time for a drink.
No evidence in favour of imposing Greenwich Mean Time in winter was found," says the report. Putting the clocks back results in "more traffic accidents and higher, more costly, evening peaks in electricity consumption than would occur on GMT+1."
The only unfavourable impact of ending the return to GMT would be on early morning workers. The report suggests that working hours could be altered for particular groups to counter this.
Consumers are paying much more for electricity as a result of ending summer time. Delaying the timing of sunset in winter would give an extra hour of light in the evening and reduce the surge of energy demand, even taking into account the later sunrise.

Oh yeah. A main claim of the report and the he title of this thread 'Clock change means 450 more accidents and 104 deaths' refers to the fact that with it being darker in the morning, there would be more accidents. What it doesn't mention is the balancing side of the equation in that with it being lighter at the end of the day, there would be less accidents and deaths then. SO ... the total number of accidents wouldn't change, they'd just happen more often at the start of the day rather than the end.
Err, someone much cleverer than I once said "Statistics will confess to anything if tortured enough". I think this report is a good example of that.

I am surprised that a change of one hour badly disturbs your sleep.
I work week about night shift and day shift.
Day shift is 7.30am to 4pm, night shift is 3.45pm to 12.15am
Even with this reasonable change in sleeping times, I don't find it to be much of a problem at all.
If anything, just make it day light savings at all times.
