The study put forward by the U.S. Department of Transportation concludes that the transition to Daylight Saving Time:

* Saves energy;
* Saves lives and prevents accidents (because people returning from work or school in daylight, which is safer than dark);
* Prevents crimes (because they are more likely in darkness than light).

According to an American researcher Stanley Coren, the advance of the time in spring creates an average increase of 7% to 8% of road accidents. Why? Because the time change alters sleep patterns and affecting the attention. Conversely, in autumn, the return to standard time causes a decrease of 7% to 8%. It seems that the “American nation” not sleeping enough and that reason is that sleep is seen as a waste of time. Before the invention of light bulbs, around the turn of the century, people slept an average of 9 hours, while now the average is 7 hours.

A U.S. proposes an idea: keep back an hour in the autumn as it is now, but change the spring. How? Instead forward an hour on Sunday, why not back in 23 hours? It will meet on Saturday … for a second time! It does not “lose” the way an hour of sleep, but rather on “benefit” almost a day off!

I hear you already think: if we act together, time would be off by one day per year. But there is an American thought. Every 4 years, instead of adding one day, rather subtract 3 days…! And they would be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday which, by popular vote, have been decreed the day the least popular. The month chosen to remove the day would be February, because it is a good miserable months … It is in this way even shorter…
