A consistent sleep schedule is important and the health effects are damaging for all people. I am a teacher and time change is difficult to incoperate into a classroom setting. I understand that the government does not care about me, or anyone else who is not wealthy, but at some level I feel government should be for the people, by the people. This law is universally hated by your constituents so maybe you take a break from promoting the interest of your wealthy superpac donors and do something for the people who actually make this country great. End the changing of clocks, its not too late to turn back time. -

This time change is rediculous. Leave it one or the other, and I prefer standard time. The biological clock turmoil is intolerable. There's no energy saved moving to DST, and I contend there's probably more energy used considering all forms of energy used. Kids are standing at bus stops on roads in the dark, 6:30 to 7:00 a.m. during morning rush when time changes initially. Peak summer soltice has us in dusk light at 9:45 to 10:00 p.m., going to bed 10 pm and its still "light outside" ...disrupts going to bed. I read where Farmers do not prefer DST as well. The biorythm changes, potential dangerous safety issues, and in general negative emotional issues experienced, all because the time changes is needless insanity. STOP THIS MADNESS NOW. Leave the time permanently alone at the more "natural" Standard Time. EST in SCREPORT COMMENTS

Outdated law that wreaks havoc with our internal clocks Ultimate governmental interference! Let individuals, corporations, farmers, schools or golfers adjust THEIR hours of operation. Ridiculous for the entire nation to change.REPORT COMMENTS

In upper michigan we have day light until 10 p.m. in the summer. I personally do not see a need to have daylight so late into the evening. What I do need is consistency. Every time change we have affects my sleep, which then affects me physically & mentally.REPORT COMMENTS

How many of our children are still helping with the Harvest? I also suspect that the cost of building the logic for DST into all electronic devices is more that it's worth. It probably cost billions of $ to re-code devices when the gov't decided to change the start/end times for DST.REPORT COMMENTS

End Daylight Savings, it is antiquated and unnecessary. DST was first tried in back in WWI to conserve fuel. It is a common misbelief that this is to help with harvests. Ranchers and farmers were always opposed to DST. Cattle and crops follow natural circadian rhythms, not clocks. Negative health effects of DST continue to be published in reputable scientific journals. Please end DST.REPORT COMMENTS

Please free us from this antiquated silliness. Do you realize that the week after Day Light Savings lays claim to the HIGHEST number of motor vehicle fatalities? (http://www.telegram.com/article/20150306/NEWS/303069496 ) Why you ask? Because we have all been robbed of an hour of precious sleep. Please take action to abolish this bizarre custom.
