As akicif points out, it does make a measurable difference to road accident rates. To avoid it, you'd need to adjust business and school hours, which negates the point of the time zone shift.
The solution, says the card-carrying SNP member, is an independent Scotland and separate time zones for the two countries, assuming the Scottish business community is content with that.
On the other hand, wonders the curious intellectual, how do the other Scandinavian countries manage? (Yes, for some purposes I do consider Scotland to be Scandinavian).
