The Health Impacts of Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time was introduced in several countries, several times in history. The idea is that you make best use of the daylight that's there so we use less energy. But it has all sorts of other consequences including heart attacks and traffic accidents. In 2018, the EU conducted a huge citizen survey asking whether they wanted to keep daylight savings time or scrap it. 80% of those that voted, most of whom hailed from Germany, voted to get rid of it.
