Daylight Savings Time could be abolished forever today

We could be saying goodbye to springing forward and falling back.

The European Parliament will vote later today on whether or not to abolish the Daylight Savings Time. Many claim that putting the clocks forward and backward can negatively affect people's mental and physical health. It is believed that some parents also think it affects their babies' sleeping patterns. Research suggests that the one-hour time change twice a year can throw off your body clock, at least temporarily. Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly believes that there is no point in changing the clocks twice a year. According to the Irish Examiner, he said: "We think that there's no need to change the clocks. "It came in during World War One, it was supposed to be for energy savings - the indications are that there are very few energy savings, if any - and there are an awful lot of disadvantages to both human beings and animals that make it outdated at this point. "We're working to try and end it." Would you be in favour of abolishing Daylight Saving Time?
