We are just doing the end of a 3 year trial and i have to say it's a pain in the arse. Hubby gets up to go to work in the pitch black but when we go to bed it's still daylight, it's like a reversal, our body clock is all over the place. Especially as it's during summer, when there is light it's still hot, it should be in winter, not summer. The japanese are already pretty messed up i wouldn't add to their stresses by introducing daylight saving. It’s been proven in Perth, that daylight savings messes with your body clock.

Losing that hour of sleep takes an adjustment, but after a week or so all traces of circadian confusion have generally dissipated. Also, self-reporting statistics are to science what lie detectors and forced confessions are to justice. Daylight Savings Time is an elaborate dance that we could probably do without if businesses were more flexible about their operating hours, but since time is money, and farmers can't take their goods to market at 8:00 a.m. in the summertime, we have to juggle the clock around to suit the suits.
