It's October, soon we'll switch to winter time. Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion to remove it?

Latest article I could find is this one: https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-plans-to-abolish-clock-changes-6024800-Mar2023/

I know the EU can be a bit slow, but the vote was held in 2019, seems like enough time elapsed since then.

    You’re not alone in taking a while to adjust. Circadian rhythms are kind of important to proper functioning. One study found that heart attacks increased coinciding with switches to and from DST. Of course this is only one study. Would need quite a few more before I could draw conclusions.

      There have also been studies on car accidents and similar events around lack of focus and being unable to concentrate rising after a DST change.
