After more than two years of discussion, Iceland's government decided not to move its time zone back to -01, where it was before daylight saving time was introduced. Currently Iceland is at +00, effectively permanent DST. Proponents of changing back had argued that DST has harmful effects on human health. To counteract DST's health effects, the government decided instead to launch an educational campaign to get Icelanders to sleep more. It is also considering monitoring children's sleep habits and starting school days later. See: Gréta Sigríður Einarsdóttir, Iceland’s Time Zone to Remain Unchanged.
