    Changing the clocks is severely detrimental to a person's health, and we do it twice every year. It takes weeks to acclimate our bodies and sleep schedules to this new clock, only to change it back in autumn and the process starts all over again. For children it is even worse. Their sensitive bodies struggle to get used to the change and end up keeping parents awake for longer, affecting not only the child but the parents' bodies and work efficiency as well. On top of that, every year our immigrant employees miss an hour of work or show up an hour early, to literally everyone's inconvenience. This is an antiquated practice that came from wartime Germany (meaning Nazi Germany, yes), which never helped the US in any way. I grew up in a farm town, and never once have I met a farmer who benefitted from DST. It wasn't made for them. It's time to abolish the practice in the United States.

    My body, my children's body's have to deal with this unnecessary change twice a year. It's a jolt we don't need. Please remove this stress on us. I love the natural way that the days get shorter and longer with the seasons. Leave it be.

    PLEASE KEEP THE TIME FIXED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR - HOW ABOUT ADJUSTING THE CLOCK 1/2 HOUR MIDWAY (OR SOME AGREEABLE MEDIAN) AND JUST LEAVING IT THERE INSTEAD OF THE TWICE-A-YEAR ADJUSTMENTS.

    Please, please stop Daylight Savings Time. You cannot change human beings’s body clocks, and God made the world to work His way. And, now you have extended it. Already, I can feel and see the time moving like the sun and moon. This is ridiculous and does not help but hurts us.

    Please end day light savings in Nashville, TN. It gets dark at 4pm during the winter. We are too close to the Eastern time zone to be a Central time zone and in addition the day light savings results in darkness at 4pm leading to Sun downing and increased rates of depression among our citizens.

    Stop daylight savings time. It messes up family schedules with small children. You change the time and just get used to it, then 4 months later you have to adjust all over again. It makes no sense anymore. I, personally am tired of it.

    Please stop daylight savings time. Research has shone that as we go toward more efficient lighting such as LEDs, the savings become negligible. Heart attacks and workplace injuries increase right after "spring ahead". Over 40 percent of the world does not recognize DST and most countries that do, did not add an extra 4 weeks in 2007. I also think it's ridiculous they're more worried about golfers getting more daylight, so they can golf later, then they are for small children standing, in the pitch black, at school bus stops in the morning. 8 months of DTS is just plain illogical, especially for the northern states.

    I have read many articles on daylight savings time (DST). Aside from being very annoying, there are no compelling reasons to keep this outdated practice. Please put this to popular vote in the next national election to END DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.

    Stop Daylight Saving Time It serves no purpose. All it does is disrupts people's sleep cycles. Please just leave time as it was meant to be.
