Daylight Savings Time is a useless practice and EXTREMELY difficult for parents of Special needs children who rely on routine. This practice is outdated and causes more health problems and lost productivity then the benefits which time has shown do not occur. Let's end this barbaric practice. Think of the children. Think of the parents. -

Extending DST is so so pointless ,plus I have ADD/ADD and it makes it much much easier for me to fall asleep early in the evening because an extra hour of sleep really help people who are severely challenged like me and since California is going to vote it this coming November to end DST I don't see why every other State can't do itREPORT COMMENTS

The only way we are going to stop this is going permanently on Standard Time only. Or to make it fair for both parties is to have equal 6 months the end of April to the end of October before Halloween to move it forward and fall back on October through April. We have to do this because think about it...the sun moves in different seasons...We move the clock ahead because the earth rotates with the Spring/Summer solace for more light and then the earth rotates with the Fall/Winter solace for less light. We need to get rid of the March spring ahead to the end of April and we need to move the November back to Standard Time to the last weekend of October....before Halloween...the way it use to be...that is the only way this is going to work. Vote NO for Prop 7. This is going to make Daylight Savings Time all year around????? Not permanent Standard Time. Dear Fellow Americans: Read the California General Election on all propositions and please vote on November 6th. We need your voices to be heard and your comments in this time of change. We can do this!REPORT COMMENTS

I am opposed of DST. It is misrepresented and a health hazard to everyone in some way. Our Earth moves naturally, it does not need a clock moving back or forward to do so. I appreciate this petition going through. Thank you for your and effort.REPORT COMMENTS

I favor year round standard time. To appease businesses, most work schedules could be moved to their real time equivalents while on DST. For example are 9 to 5 schedule could be moved to 8 to 4.REPORT COMMENTS

Energy saving was the rationale for Daylight Saving Time, but the promised energy saving has never materialized. In fact, the best studies prove that Americans use MORE domestic electricity when they practice daylight saving. Moreover, when people turn television off and go to park or mall in evening sunlight, they do not walk. They get in their cars and drive. Daylight “Saving” actually increases gasoline consumption. Daylight Saving Time is a fallacious substitute for genuine energy conservation policy. Spanish dictator General Franco moved Spain onto Central European Time in 1942 to follow Nazi Germany. Let us not allow madness to dictate our measurement of time. More than 80 percent of respondents to the largest online survey in European Union history are in favor of abolishing changing the clocks in summer and winter. Living beings seek pleasure and instinctively avoid pain. Getting out of bed an hour early is pain! It disrupts your biorhythm, causing difficulty sleeping, irritation and lack of concentration. I know that. You know that. Contact your government representative and make your case, send your message: Stop the Daylight Saving Madness!REPORT COMMENTS

I vote NO on AB-807 because the bill is intended to keep CA on Daylight Savings Time all year long. Have you heard of circadian rhythm? A part of your hypothalamus (a portion of your brain) controls your circadian rhythm. That said, outside factors like lightness and darkness can also impact it. When it’s dark at night, your eyes send a signal to the hypothalamus that it’s time to feel tired. WE DO NOT GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS NATURAL CYCLE OF SHUTTING DOWN, while we observe Daylight Savings time. There is so much light so late at night and this creates a disruption in our sleep cycle which has a detrimental effect on our health and the ability to perform basic day to day functions. Your brain, in turn, sends a signal to your body to release melatonin, which makes your body tired. That’s why your circadian rhythm tends to coincide with the cycle of daytime and nighttime When things get in the way, like daylight savings time, you can disrupt your circadian rhythm, which makes you feel out of sorts and can make it harder to pay attention . VOTE NO ON AB-807, and propose a bill that keeps CA on STANDARD TIME.REPORT COMMENTS

We have an excess of daylight when we observe Daylight Savings time, well into the late evening when most people are getting ready for bed and have such a brief time of actual darkness. Many people experience zero time in darkness, this is unnatural. Light exposure at night stimulates alertness—and that can pose a serious problem for healthy, abundant, refreshing sleep. Light exposure during the evening can make it harder to fall asleep. Insufficient darkness throughout the night can lead to frequent and prolonged awakenings. The body needs time to prepare for sleep, this is not possible when Daylight Savings Time is in place. A sleep routine that includes a gradually darkening environment is essential. However, while on DST we have zero transitioning periods. My entire family spends every waking moment in sunlight; this is so unnatural and has a negative effect on our health and mood. I vote NO on AB-807 because the bill is intended to keep CA on Daylight Savings Time all year long.REPORT COMMENTS
