    I am still having a hard time adjusting to getting up an hour earlier. My system automatically wakes up in Standard time. That extra hour early seems to just make me tired all day. And it isn't just in my head.

    This nonsense of daylight saving time must stop!!! People walking around like half brain dead zombies, all cranky, and out of sorts is ridiculous!!! Standard time must be adopted nationwide!! I am in California, and believe we should have standard time. Standard time also means more time to do things, and get things done!! And the plus side is we don't walk around feeling drained and brain dead, and causing traffic accidents!! We can also help push this Standard time movement if we ask the various sleep foundations to lobby in Capitol Hill for this cause! Here is a list of the various sleep foundations we can contact to ask them to lobby against daylight saving and for standard time: National Sleep Foundation American Academy of Sleep Medicine American Board of Sleep Medicine AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology

    There is no valuable, modern reason to maintain daylight savings time. It is an outdated practice that seems particularly cruel where Americans, due to modern demands and distractions, are already struggling to get enough sleep. Daylight Savings Time only compounds the problem affecting productivity and safety. Please end the practice. Thank you.

    I am happy every Fall when daylight savings time ends. Because our children across the state of Ohio no longer hae to wait for a school bus in total darkness. It is not safe. I worry about that every year. It puts our children at unnecessary risk.

    Daylight savings time is an unnecessary hardship and even dangerous for some. With daylight savings time we have to get up when it is still dark and for those who have a early morning there is not enough time in the evening to wind down before retiring. Our children wait at the bus stop in the dark. It doesn't get light until 7 am try walking your dog in the dark. Who gets the benefit?????

    I am absolutely disgusted with DST. I don't understand why after all the studies that have been done, and just using plane common sense, it is obvious that this ridiculous practice does much more harm than good. Please END IT.

    Please work on eliminating Daylight Saving time. Okay for Benjamin Franklin’s time in an agricultural USA. But makes little sense in our time. Studies suggest an increase in cardiovascular issues after each time change.

    I wouldn't mind getting rid of Daylight Savings Time but at the very least until then please make it begin in April and end in October. Having Daylight Savings Time begin in March and end in November for one has children walking to school and waiting for their school bus in the dark. This is completely unacceptable and everyone needs to keep contacting their reps and Senators until it's changed. Another thing is that millions of seniors want their morning daylight back. This early change in March and end in November is a result of the failed Bush/Cheney energy bill, people have made many complaints about this over the last 10 years and we are fed up that nothing has been done about it. Getting rid of it all together wouldn't bother me one bit either but at the very least change it back to the way it was prior to 2007.

    The human reproductive cycle is guided, in part, by light and dark. People may play more golf after work during daylight savings, but I bet they’re having less sex while they adjust to getting up in total darkness. Unless they’re on hormones, most women’s cycles start during the darkest time of the month, around the time of the new moon. Changing the light and dark waking hours for an entire population has physical consequences. Rubio’s plan to lock in daylight savings is backwards. Please let Americans rest and wake up with the sun!

    This may sound odd but the time change has a bad effect on a lot of people in general especially those with seasonal disorder or people who are bipolor and manic . The change in time just that one hour throws peoples body rhythms off . I would like to see the time change go away . It's not good for anyone

    If we must continue this madness of shifting time how about making the time shifting on a different date, I would suggest we make the shift at the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and then we end it when the fall solstice begins this way those that love DST would still get there precious little hour during the summer. This would help ease the issue of those that hate getting up in the morning when it is still dark outside and would allow Mother Nature to take us in to summer with natural expanding days, instead of this force shift of time.

    Of course, there is little to no current benefit for the time changes to exist anymore (at least for the majority of us). It seems to me this is just an old practice who's time has come and gone. We just need to make it go away.
