I would like daylight savings time to be stopped. Having an "extra" hour of light in the evening does not help me or anyone else in America, and having my sleep schedule disturbed makes me lose productivity at work and puts me at greater risk to be in a a car accident (based on studies done showing a rise in accidents for the week that daylight savings begins). This is a practice that no longer saves us energy and it doesn't help farmers either. Farmers get up with the sun regardless of the time the clock says, and they don't need to use kerosene lamps anymore! Can we please repeal daylight savings and just keep the clock the same year round? We don't want this outdated practice in our lives anymore! -

Not sure why we continue with this. Not even really sure what the benefits were when we began this. It just seems like a weird ritual that we continue just because. And what about Arizona? How have they been able to opt out? Please end this practice that seems to serve no purpose but to throw people off track twice a year.REPORT COMMENTS

This practice is antiquated, and is a real burden on families with children. The spring time change puts our kids at bus stops in the dark each morning; and disrupts bedtimes of children as well. The later sunset doesn't disrupt children's sleep for only one night; the compounded effect of the time change on rising time, naptime, and a harder time falling asleep because of the sun being up later disrupts children's sleep schedule for well over a week, more in some cases, and costs mothers and fathers valuable time together, impacting marital happiness and possibly elevating an already high divorce rate. Please end this foolishness and let sunset be at 6:30pm!!!REPORT COMMENTS

Please stop the insanity of daylight savings time. I'd like to know who benefits from this. My guess is big pharma does since with sleep deprivation, people tend to have slower response times. Causing heart attacks, accidents, injuries, death.. Let's put an end to daylight savings time NOW.REPORT COMMENTS

Please end DST. Most of us have to be on the roads early in thr morning. It's very dark at 7 am. We need the daylight for safety; children walking to school and people who are out and about early in the day. Majority of work schedules start early. 3rd shift is out at 7 am...all of this in the dark hours during DST. We don't need a 9:00 sunset. Our body schedules are off. DST is unnecessary and unfavorable to a society who mainly needs daylight in the early morning hours.REPORT COMMENTS

It is time to bring day light savings to a end, the negative effects to peoples health is not worth, what ever we may be saving. I don't see the point of it any way it is dark when I get to work and its dark when I get home for 6 months, with or without day light savings, so where is the savings there? Besides every light in my house is LED, so the amount of power that is used for lighting is minimal. If your worried about saving power add incentives to business to change to LED, saving power and stimulating the economy at the same time. That sounds much better than messing with my sleep!REPORT COMMENTS

This is 2017, not 1918. Daylight savings time does not save energy. The costs to health, productivity, and confusion are substantial. The majority of your constituents see little value in this archaic policy. Come into the 21st century, and abolish DST.REPORT COMMENTS
