Safework (SA) executive director Bryan Russell said that the residents should wind their clock an hour back on Saturday night before they go to sleep. South Australian’s daylight saving’s time is consistent with Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, and a few other Australian territories. States and territories which currently have daylight savings will turn their clock back on Sunday October 5th , 2014. Daylight savings is not observed in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

The first idea for Daylight Savings was introduced by Benjamin Franklin in the 1780s but it was first tried in the first part of the 20th century. It was the Germans who introduced the Daylight Savings with the aim to save energy and fuel. Since Daylight savings was introduced around the world there has been much debate using it’s efficacy. If there is energy saving around the world using daylight savings, the saving is negligible. It is also being said that it reduces traffic accidents but there is no proof that it does so. There is no equal evidence that daylight savings fades the carpets and curtains. According to a new study Daylight savings have real impacts on the health.

The research showed that on Monday there is an increase in the number of heart attacks compared to the other number of days. This suggests that susceptible people had their heart attacks accelerated by a few days due to Daylight savings.

On the other hand there is a good news that when the clocks turn back for autumn there is a 21% drop in heart attacks on Tuesday following the event. So the southerners can rest for a bit (6 months) and the northerners can give a rest to the body clock.
