Daylight Saving Time is adopted by more than 70 countries. However, more often than not people are against shifting the time. Is the idea still beneficial?
To start with, Daylight Saving Time increases human safety. For instance, if the daylight hours last longer, the visibility on the road is better. Consequently, there are fewer car accidents. Another thing is that criminal activity is lower as most wrongdoings are committed in the dark. Furthermore, thanks to shifting the time people use less artificial light. This effects a few issues. It is healthier for eyesight, the probability of tired eyes is lower (daylight gives people the opportunity to do activities which demands light without fear of their health) and electrical energy consumption
