    Daylight savings time seriously messes with the schedules of me, my husband and my kids. It is dangerous and is strongly correlation with increased car accidents. It is completely unneccesary as well. No one likes it, it serves no purpose and it's time for it to go!

    The time change is horrible for school age children. Children stay out until dark, which is not always safe. Then they have to get up in the dark, wait at the bus stop in the dark, ride the bus in the dark with daylight occurring only when they arrive. They stay exhausted. Let's repeal for our children.

    Twice a year we must change our bodies internal clocks to accommodate this out dated system. Neurologically this is not healthy for any age. It disrupts structure and routine from children to seniors. Put an end to this and help keep America strong.

    This is an outdated practice that has no place in modern times, and severely complicates international business

    It has outlived its usefulness and creates nothing but transition problems. Dump it now!

    Please end this bizarre practice. What are we even doing this for? Stroke and heart attack deaths increase when we mess with our sleep cycles. Let's get with the times...no pun intended..okay maybe just a little. Seriously though, let's do away with this-no one is a fan and productivity decreases.

    Just pick one and LEAVE it alone!! Mother Nature adjusts the hours of daylight ALL on her own. There are actual statistics proving the overall negative effects-- HOW is this still a common practice. Heck, split the difference by 30 minutes, just stop changing it back and forth so we all can adjust once and for all!

    Please do away with this "spring forward, fall back" concept. There is absolutely no need for it in 2017. This was for a time long past and no longer needed. The nights are too long in the fall as it is and making them even longer is totally unnecessary and quite frankly harmful to children since their time outdoors is cut down significantly with night time coming an hour earlier.

    We're pretending to control something over which we have not control....attempting to trick ourselves in the name of some false economic claim. DST is akin to setting one's clock 10 minutes fast in an effort to be on time, but knowing that your clock is set 10 minutes fast....it's meaningless. It's proven to be a health concern...physical and mentally. Let's all grow-up, stop suffering fools gladly, and leave our clocks...internal and external...alone.

    Daylight savings negatively impacts our health. I was my husband's sole caregiver for many years. He suffered from dementia. I experienced first hand how disruptive change of time was for him. It took at least a month to get back to a normal routine - and this twice a year! Please think of the many residents in nursing homes and long term care facilities (also daycare centers for children) who are jolted out of their sleep just so the care facilities can keep their daily schedule. It also interrupts dairy farmers and cattle ranchers. Too late this year, but please end daylight savings time in 2018!

    There is no rational reason to keep changing our clocks. Please be part of the solution and end DST for good. Just leave our clocks alone already!
