Thank you for sharing this survey, Gawan! I have a hard time with this practice as well (especially in spring when I feel like dragged out for around two weeks due to it) and also think, this practice is not only pretty useless but also detrimental to the overall health. Especially around the summer switch car accidents and the rate of heart attacks have been shown to be increased. Let alone (little) kids and how disrupted sleep patterns could interfere with their development as well as the overall health effects on the population at large.
Therefore I signed as well and made use of the field in the end too, where you can write down additional remarks. I remarked on several aspects like the effects on health, the increased accident rate and that it has been found that the main agenda for propagating this practice, to save energy, has been found to be rather questionable. I added some links to studies and articles in order to back up my remarks either. The following article from Journalist's Resource has a lot of links to studies which put this practice into question: Daylight saving time: Research on health, car accidents and energy usage - Journalist's Resource
Then, there is an article on Psychology Today, which looks into the detrimental effects of DST on the brain: Your Brain on Daylight Savings
And I also found a meta-study, which summarizes lots of studies looking into if the aim of saving energy is actually achieved in a considerable way or not. That study overall rather found the latter to be the case in their conclusion (on page 24):

I finished my remarks by writing, that all that calls for abolishing this practice.

In any case, the effects of daylight saving time on energy consumption are too small to justify
the biannual time-shifting.
