Dear Premier John Horgan,

Daylight saving time is very bad for the physical health of British Columbians.

In the spring, when clocks leap forward an hour, it makes everyone tired and grumpy.

In the fall, when clocks fall back an hour, many people go drinking and dancing, and they get a hangover and sore knees.

But that’s not all!

A 2001 study found that with the time change in both the spring and fall, there was an increase in the number of traffic accidents.

Case in point: On Monday March 12, after the clocks leaped forward, I was speeding to get to work because I overslept, and I smashed into a garbage truck. I totally destroyed my bicycle!

Now I have to buy a new one, and I don’t have any money!

I overslept because I didn’t set my alarm clock. The annoying buzzing sound gives me a nightmare of the shower scene in Psycho.

Then I wake up, and I can’t fall back asleep!

My biological clock wakes me up an hour before work, but when clocks leap forward, I’m late every day for a month. Unfortunately, I haven’t found an employer who will put up with this, and I always get fired!

Please cancel daylight saving time. If you do, it will help people like me get to work on time.

Sadly, it’s that time of year again when I’m looking for a new job.

Sincerely,

Roger Tuckerman
