Daylight Savings Time does nothing to conserve energy; in fact, studies show that it increases consumption. Additional studies have shown that DST can have a detrimental effect on one's health. It can affect mental acuity in the days that immediately follow the time change, which in turn affects one's productivity in the workplace. It can lead to sleep deprivation, which has long-term effects on one's physical and mental health. DST no longer serves a purpose, if it ever did.
