    Will someone in congress please do something to put a stop to DST!! It is very well described in a circulating email that states that daylight savings time is like cutting the bottom off a blanket and sewing it to the top and saying it is now a longer blanket. The practice of changing the clock by an hour does nothing to save on energy as it was originated for. We now are using the lights for an extra hour in the mornings instead of at night. How has that benefited anyone? Everyone I talk to says they hate it and have a hard time adjusting to it each time it gets switched.

    Even harder on seniors. I wonder how much $$$$ would be saved by eliminating this archaic practice. Also just might see savings in energy used.

    DST contributes to global warning because of the EXTRA electricity used for lighting and heating homes in the morning. Emissions from electric plants add to global warming. Humanity has wreaked enough damage to our atmosphere. Why continue to add to it by thinking we are extending daylight hours when THAT HAPPENS NATURALLY WHEN SPRING BEGINS? End DST!

    DST needs to stop. Leave the "time" right where it is. Especially ridiculous in SoCal.

    Let's fix this now before it becomes even more of an issue and harder to implement. The change is simple on Sunday November 5, 2017. Those in Eastern and Mountain time zones move their clock back one hour. Central and Pacific leave their clocks alone. Done, we now have only two time zones and we stop the madness... Let's push this through now so we have adequate time to implement and test all the necessary changes.

    There is virtually no reason for this antiquated practice to exist any longer, and at this point it causes way more harm (on our bodies and our minds) than good.

    There is no longer any reason for daylight savings to exist. Why are we so unwilling to change? Useless, outdated, disruptive, non-productive, etc....

    Time changing is outdated and really serves no purpose. We are not saving energy as we still have 24 hours in a day.

    Please end this practice. I am a morning person, but this past week has been horrible. Now I hate morning. Getting out of bed on time has been impossible. Driving to work has been impossible - the sun glaring in my eyes the entire way. On Monday, I nearly fell asleep while standing. I'm not joking. I'm making mistakes at work that I typically would not ever make. I hate daylight savings time.

    And, replace DST with the Universal (Greenwich Mean) Time Clock (UTC). There is only one universal time. The position of the sun relative to our position on the earth is an outdated reference for time.
