Daylight Savings Time exposed

Melissa Locker has an article in Time about the ridiculousness of Daylight Saving Time:

John Oliver tackled the most pressing question of the day on a recent episode of Last Week Tonight: How is Daylight Saving Time still a thing?
Everyone seems to blame the existence of Daylight Saving Time on the farmers. But that blame is misplaced, because, as Oliver put it, cows don’t care what time it is and we’ve all been unfairly accusing America’s agriculturalists.
The real instigator of the dreaded “spring forward” was Kaiser Wilhelm, who wanted to preserve daylight on the battlefields of World War One. Yes, you lost an hour of sleep thanks to Germany.
While the ritual of moving clocks forward one hour has old roots, the practice continues on the grounds that it conserves energy.

There are two other areas that show a marked increased as well: researchers found that there is a rise in car accidents and work-related injuries the week after the time change.
