The Health Risks of Cancelling Daylight Saving Time

A study by José María Martín-Olalla of the University of Seville has analysed retrospectively and from a physiological perspective the potential consequences of cancelling daylight saving time, the biannual change of clocks. In his conclusions, he argues that maintaining the same time during all twelve months could lead to an increase in human activity during the early morning in the winter months, with the potential repercussions on human health that this would entail.
