Pretty much the time my cat is on my bed, loud meowing, and depositing his feline spittle on my arm. And of course, defoliating with his sand paper tongue. All because he thinks I like it and will reward him with his carnivore sachet food and tasty biscuits. And yes, his internal feline clock, granted him by millions of years of evolution, has also been thrown out by one hour. Quote Yes, sleep experts in the UK are actively advocating for the abolition of twice-yearly clock changes. In October 2024, the British Sleep Society recommended that the government abolish the time changes and adopt permanent Standard Time (Greenwich Mean Time) to improve public health, citing scientific evidence on the negative effects of changing clocks on sleep and circadian rhythms. Health concerns: The British Sleep Society argues that the twice-yearly clock change negatively impacts sleep and circadian health, leading to issues like "social jet lag" that increase the risk of metabolic and heart diseases. Recommended solution: Experts recommend permanent Standard Time (GMT) over permanent Daylight Saving Time (DST) because GMT aligns better with natural daylight cycles, particularly in the morning, which is crucial for health. Impact of permanent DST: The Society advises against permanent DST, warning it would disproportionately disadvantage regions west of London by creating darker mornings for a longer part of the year, which could exacerbate health risks. Government action: While experts have made a strong recommendation, there is no indication that the UK government has made any decisions or is currently considering legislation to abolish the clock chang
November 4, 2025Nov 4 Author Quote When the European Union considered scrapping clock changes, the UK government indicated it was unlikely to follow suit. Public opinion appears divided, with a YouGov poll showing 44% favouring the current system versus 39% wanting to stop the changes. Without overwhelming public demand or compelling new evidence, the official position remains cautious. Previous attempts to change the system, like a Private Member’s Bill between 2010-2012 proposing year-round BST, ultimately failed in Parliament. The government's stance is clear: continue with DST unless significant pressure or evidence dictates otherwise. 🙄
