Stop Clock Changing for the Sake of Animals and Mental Health

We urge the Government to put an end to what we consider to be the outdated practice of clock changing. This biannual ritual not only disrupts daily routines but we believe it may inflict significant harm on animals and on people's mental health.

We want to create a world where time serves as a tool for synchronisation rather than a source of disruption.

We are concerned that each time the clocks spring forward or fall back, animals could experience confusion and distress and their natural rhythms could be thrown off balance.

We believe that forced manipulation of time disrupts our circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disturbances, mood swings, and increased stress levels. Disruption to sleep negatively impacts cognitive function, productivity, and overall well-being.

Adopting a permanent standard time or daylight saving time would provide stability and consistency.
