Should we stop changing the clocks twice a year?

Every spring the clocks go forward and every autumn they go back. In the UK the change happens on the last Sunday of October, and in most of the US it comes a week later in early November. Each time, millions of people lose or gain an hour of sleep and spend the next few days feeling slightly out of step.

Supporters of the change say lighter evenings in summer are good for outdoor life, shopping and tourism, while the switch back in winter brings brighter mornings for children walking to school.

Critics argue that the change itself is the problem. Sleep researchers point to tired drivers, disrupted routines and grumpy Monday mornings, and many people simply find it confusing. Lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic have debated ending it for years, but they rarely agree on which time to keep.
