    I believe that this practice affects us mentally and physically a therefore should be abandoned. In our household of 5 none of us like it, the children complain that they feel tired, it is confusing, and upsetting. Seriously, we end up tired that week and out of control, bringing stress to our lives, Therrfore, there is confusion all around with clocks set up wrong and our body's not functioning correctly. Humans beings are so sensitive that our internal clock feels messed up, kind of like a jet lag, causing all kinds of irritation behavior. It is upsetting that no one has come to the conclusion that is not worth put our population to this kind of stress. It does not have any advantages other than been detrimental to our society, and the saddes is that there is scientific proof and the government is not taking care of us.

    Daylight saving time is stupid and pointless. It's disruptive and unhealthy.

    Daylight savings was supposed to decrease electricity use, but 50 years of data show this to be untrue. Let's stop the silliness.

    As a teacher and a parent I see disruption this practice creates in Communitrs amd families. If there are benefits they are negated by the disruptions to children, families, and schools.

    This bill is confusing. Ending DST would be the opposite of of the mentioned state and islands. I vote to keep DST year round like AZ! Spring forward and forget it! Falling back is a waste of time!

    I hate this stupid time of year, spring forward so that it doesn't get dark until 8pm is not natural. No energy is being saved when your homes a/c is working overtime because it's still daylight when it should be dark in the summer months

    I absolutely agree that Daylight Saving Time is benefitting too few and harming the majority. As an animal owner and a parent, I can attest to the challenges DST presents. I feel our country would benefit from staying on Standard time year round, I hope you would consider this.

    Daylight savings need to stop. Everyone has to change their body clock to adapt. Children are in the dark when going to school. Don't care for an extra hour of sunlight. It's needed or wanted.

    Either get rid or daylight savings time or setting our clocks back in the winter. It is dangerous to mess with people's sleep schedules and leads to more traffic accidents.

    WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT DAY LIGHT SAVING TIME IS NOT NEEDED IN THIS WORLD TODAY. PEOPLE SHOP WHEN EVER IT IS IN THEIR SCHEDULE. THE SCHOOL CHILDREN WOULD BE A LOT SAFER IF IT IS LIGHT WHEN THEY CATCH THEIR BUS. PEOPLE DO NOT SLEEP IN IF THE SUN IS UP. PEOPLE HAVE MORE ENERGY IN THE MORNING IF YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE TIME AT STANDARD TIME. TURNING THE CLOCKS AHEAD IN THE SPRING MONTHS MAKE IT HARDER ON THE FARMER AND HIS ANIMALS. THE DAYS WILL GET LONGER AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE SUN AND WE WILL HAVE MORE DAYLIGHT IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. I THINK THIS IDEAL SHOULD BE DONE AND OVER WITH.

    I feel daylight savings time has no redeeming qualities but disrupting everyone's internal clocks and schedules. It will stay lighter longer naturally because of the change of the seasons. Please stop this practice.
