According to the director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Transformation Ilya Neskhodovsky, it is definitely better for the country’s economy to leave the transition to summer time.
“This is due to the fact that we, it turns out, summer time starts earlier, and if you stay in winter time, then the dark time will start an hour earlier, and, as a result, the costs of lighting will increase, the accident rate on the roads increases, therefore that during daylight hours there are fewer accidents, etc. “, – he explained.
The economist noted that when we do not change the time, this leads to more electricity consumption and more money is spent on it, which leads to an increase in the profits of the companies that sell this electricity.
At the same time, doctor-somnologist Yuri Pogoretsky emphasized that changing the clock brings with it drowsiness, disability, diabetes mellitus, stroke, heart attack and the appearance of suicidal moods.
“For millions of years, bacteria, plants, animals and people produced their own biorhythms attached to the Sun. Each of us lives in our own region, has our own biorhythm behind the sun, so any shift or movement of sleep (an hour forward – an hour ago) leads to dire consequences.” , – the expert emphasized.
The doctor claims that Ukraine does not need to set the clock.
“Therefore, in the spring it was necessary to pass a law and not to switch the clock to daylight saving time. Now we will switch to our normal winter time, but still there will be consequences from this transition,” Pogoretsky added.
