Yeah, sleep disruption in the spring is a bad thing. Sleep disruption in general has been known to cause increased risk of accidents, I don't know if this has been specifically tied to DST or not. If so it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that DST kills people.
Also it's a mess for IT, with software having to be upgraded for timezone database updates. We had an awefull time at my workplace caused by a java timezone update, that had to occur out-of-band vs. the usualy upgrade cycle. DST disposition can vary by county in the US for fucks sake... It's a big mess.
