    I am a school teacher and switching times is so hard on the kids. It takes them about two weeks to adjust. We lose some valuable teaching time because the kids are so tired. I would like to see the time stay the same year round especially for the sake of children.

    Daylight savings time, put simply, is ridiculous. It has absolutely no benefit, and a lot of downfalls. Such as its effect on human health, disrupting sleep cycles, and so on. (No one wants to get used to getting up at 5 am then to remain getting up at 5 they are technically getting up at 4 after the time change) What with today's technology we do not need "longer shopping hours" and the fact that DST keeps getting extended to provide longer shopping hours or longer trick or treating time is just stupid. Like we need more sugar in our diets... Stop thinking about your next dollar and try actually benefiting the people for a change..

    I would like to stay on daylight savings time year round. I like the extra daylight after work, but changing the clock twice a year is ridiculous.

    Changing the time every year is not necessary. It interferes with so many daily life functions. Please stop this antiquated process, it is so ridiculous! Time for a change... NOT to change any longer! Thanks.

    I do not know a single person who claims to benefit from the "savings" resulting from the time shift twice per year. I personally struggle with adjusting my body and sleep schedule each time, and I know many who have children and it wreaks havoc on their lives. This antiquated practice needs to be ended. Thank you for your consideration.

    As an insomniac who works very tight schedules, I personally cannot afford to deal with one hour jet lag, it just messes everything up and is useless, Suffering in vain.

    The week after we "spring forward" is insanely hazardous for commuters, especially those who already wake up earlier than most to work 12 hour shifts that start at 6 or 7am. Losing an hour of sleep when most people working those types of shifts already don't get enough is an issue of safety, not convenience.

    In this day and age, daylight savings is irrelevant and only serves as a way to irritate the general public. The act of daylight savings does nothing more than disrupt children's sleep schedules as well as working adults.

    Enough is enough - END DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. One week after the time change and I still feel it - it messes with the circadian rhythm of every person who is subjected to this useless and antiquated theory.
