Modern energy has evolved to the point where energy-saving light bulbs help save more than switching clocks. And recent studies show that changing the time disrupts sleep, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. However, nearly 60 countries still adjust their clocks twice a year, most of them in Europe.
