Because for us we don't have the extra hour or the hour less we just carry on as if the clocks haven't changed.

so.... let me get this right, you either:

(and obviously i dont know what time you start finish, so il do a basic 8hr shift)

22:00 - 06:00 (ignoring the time change) - 9 hours work
22:00 - 05:00 (taking into acocunt the time change) - 8 hours work

unless you work both the hour going forward and hour going back every year, and then one shift cancels out the other?

I've read that some Scandanadian countries have a higher rate, but I'm at work so I can't find a conclusive source, but see Michael Berk; Seetal Dodd; Karen Hallam; Lesley Berk; John Gleeson; Margaret Henry (2008). "Small shifts in diurnal rhythms are associated with an increase in suicide: the effect of daylight saving". Sleep and Biological Rhythms 6 (1): 22–25

Australian suicide data from 1971 to 2001 were assessed to determine the impact on the number of suicides of a 1-h time shift due to daylight saving. The results confirm that male suicide rates rise in the weeks following the commencement of daylight saving, compared to the weeks following the return to eastern standard time and for the rest of the year. After adjusting for the season, prior to 1986 suicide rates in the weeks following the end of daylight saving remained significantly increased compared to the rest of autumn. This study suggests that small changes in chronobiological rhythms are potentially destabilizing in vulnerable individuals.

And even if the clocks didn't change you'd eventually be driving home in the dark anyway. Just leave the the clocks at GMT let our body adjust with the seasons naturally and stop ****ing about with the clocks.
 
YAY, I will personally slap people if I see anyone say "well actually the real time is X" because that's a dumb thing to say
