maybe it's time to ditch another '70s icon we should have outgrown by
now, says the British Sleep Society (BSS).

A group of researchers in the UK affiliated with the BSS published a
paper this week calling for the permanent abolition of Daylight Saving
Time (DST) and adherence to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), in large part
because modern evidence suggests having that extra hour of sunlight in
the evenings is worse for our health than we thought back in the 1970s
when the concept was all the rage in Europe.

Not only does GMT more closely align with the natural day/light cycle
in the UK, the boffins assert, but decades of research into sleep and

Yawn... our incompetent and inept politicians have been harping on this theme for at least a decade, probably more and not done anything about it.
They are too busy enriching themselves at the tax payers expense, to actually make a good decision that would improve the health of people.
