Just shift it 30 mins instead of an hour to appease everyone.
The shift kills people tho...
Literally, a shit ton of heart attacks happen because people's schedule changes all of a sudden. No, those would likely happen in the following months anyways, but them all happening at the same time overloads our medical system even when staffing is adjusted for it.
Just change it once and leave it.
This is the clear solution and I can't believe it doesn't get brought up more often.
There are also fewer heart attacks and car accidents when we gain an hour though, so it cancels out in the end.

Take your pick.
Literally the title of the second link:
Questions work better at getting answers...
But here's one for the road:
If the change happens the first day, including days before and after would dilute the effect
Which is why this is the one study that didnt find it. Except they did find it, it was just diluted by looking at a longer time than necessary...
If you have more questions, you won't get answers from me tho, be happy you got that one.
