Background
The clock changes, particularly the March change, amount to an increase in heart attacks, car accidents and workplace incidents. In addition, they are very challenging for people with neurodivergence. In addition, the additional hour of daylight in the height of summer is very challenging for those who struggle to sleep due to their ADHD or Autism. The clock change adds no value to the economy, our energy bills or farmers and should be abolished.
