I don't understand why this is such a death march. Why could we not even try natural time for just one year, to see the difference? If there's nothing to be gained, why don't we scrap this? I would vote for any Presidential candidate who would do this.Mar 24th, 2017Someone from South Point, OH writes:

There is an increase in car accidents the first week after we spring forward. Not to mention the myriad of other signs that we are all sleep deprived ... increase in stress levels, grumpiness, and attendance issues. Antiquated, unnecessary, and unsafe.REPORT COMMENTS

Changing our sleep wake cycle does not feel good. Especially for us who provide 24 hours care (nurses, doctors etc...). It takes me weeks to recover each time.REPORT COMMENTS

DST comes way too early now, and makes me feel odd! It is not natural to be so light at night this time of year. I can feel the same vague effects every year and it is not healthy.REPORT COMMENTS

It is time to move on from DST. It is confusing, useless, unhealthy, less safe and illogical in today's society. I don't know anyone who likes it except perhaps electric companies. Never, never have I heard someone say, "Great, It's DST. Now it will get become dark before I leave the office." Rather I hear universal complaints every single year.REPORT COMMENTS

Just as we are coming out of winter and getting more light in the mornings, this time change hits and makes it so those of us who have to get up early are getting up in the dark again. This is bad for our bodies and brains and bad for productivity. The days are naturally longer in the summer, there is NO NEED to artificially alter time! Please let's be on permanent standard time!!REPORT COMMENTS

Parents of young children complain about how much it negatively affects their kids behavior due to sleep changed. Adults experience increased risk of health problems as well as accidents for the 3 weeks after each time change. It does not save energy, it just shifts the time of use. School kids only gain 2 weeks of morning daylight to walk to school in the fall and then they get 2 weeks of darker mornings in the spring. It makes no sense. PLEASE stop it this year. It has been a week and a half and my body is still messed up.REPORT COMMENTS

Yes, with daylight savings time, we have extra daylight at the end of the day, but then we have extra darkness at the beginning of the day which is dangerous for children walking to school, and in my case, walking my dog before going to work. Plus it wrecks havoc with my body clock.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm so tired of being tired! It's dark until late in the morning and my inner clock just doesn't adjust. I'm a teacher so I can see how tired the little ones are when they come to school. It's ludicrous that people think you can gain time by changing the clocks. There are still just 24 hours in each day. Just please quit messing with the clock!REPORT COMMENTS

As a family man daylight savings time completely changes the dynamic of my home and as a businessman daylight savings time completely ruins productivity for 2 to 3 weeks each transition. Living in northern Indiana most of my life we didn't have daylight savings time and everything ran just fine after transitioning to daylight savings time I have noticed that it definitely affects my sleep habits and many others. While I am not a doctor but understanding that sleep is very important to the human body the idea behind delay savings time seems counterintuitive. I have personally seen no benefit come from using daylight savings time and have yet to speak to anyone that could provide me with a clear case for its use .REPORT COMMENTS

As I see it, Daylight Savings Time is just an interesting idea that doesn't necessarily help anyone. In fact, it results in more damage than benefits. People are tired as their body clocks are messed up for not just one day, but several to a week or so. And many of us simply don't care whether it's light out or not. We have . . . electricity!REPORT COMMENTS

Ten days since DST, and each new day I feel lucky and yet cursed to be alive. That Sunday, I knew that I was in for some trouble, but I could not have predicted how much. That lost hour of sleep would certainly haunt me for months, but soon, that would be the least of my concerns. Going to work the next day, I saw not one, not two, but one car accident. I knew that the world could be a gruesome place, especially after the DST returned, but the image of that defenseless bumper being slightly dented made me feel sick to my stomach. I would have to steel myself if I wanted to survive. Turns out DST was just getting warmed up. For the rest of my five-minute commute, I hurried where I could, doing everything possible to avoid become DST's next victim. Once inside, I ran to my desk where the DST wouldn't be able to reach me. Safe at last, I went to make some coffee. Little did I know, there was a horde of workers there trying to make their own coffee. One made eye contact with me and stated that he was feeling pretty tired, and he yawned. I did everything in power not to yawn, but I fell, DST claiming yet another victim.REPORT COMMENTS

There is nothing I hate more than having to drive to work in the dark. I don't mind going home in the dark as your day is over and it's time to go home and relax, but to get up so darn early and go to work in the dark is ridiculous. My body has such a hard time adjusting to the time changes, just about the time it has gotten use to the time change it's time to change back again. Just do away with daylight savings.REPORT COMMENTS
