What the petition asks
If you do this, then it will give people time to adjust and wind down before the first day of the week, making their attitude to working better and increasing their productivity.
It will benefit people's mental health-more time to sleep, no rushing and stress, and time to eat breakfast (which also increases productivity). It will also give more calm time rather than stress with the family, increasing the bond.
