More than safe, it would be the best option to abolish it completely.
In brief, our bodies evolved in the the movement of the sun, not numbers on a clock, so called solar time. Standard time aligns the numbers on the clock the best with solar time for most all of the world. There are some exceptions along the equator and at the poles at different times of year, but those are exceptions that have been, and can continue to be, handled well by people in those areas.

- chgs 3y agoSo in the summer you want school to start 4 hours after sun up, but in winter you want it to start 1 hour before?
- patmorgan23 3y agoSchools can change their schedules if the shorter daylight hours are a problem.
- chgs 3y agoAnd businesses can to match them. And bus companies. And everyone else Or we could simply change the common time everyone uses and not have to reprint everything.
- rypskar 3y agoGo far enough from equator and that will happen anyway, or for some of us sunset at parts of the summer and sunrise parts of the winter are both NaN. But the change between standard and DST makes a big difference for some weeks during spring and fall
- rabbits77 3y agoUnder the existing DST system (1 hour difference from Standard Time) they currently go to school (wait, children in school in the summer?) 3 hours after sun up but that's not seen as a problem?
- nemomarx 3y agoIf you want to align things to solar time you probably also want seasonal opening hours - less in the winter, more in the summer, or such. Changing the clocks by an hour doesn't get you there though, only partly mitigates it.
