    It is way past time to end daylight savings time. Other comments lay out the numerous reasons for ending it.

    I find that I have started waking up and feeling better as spring approaches. I show up at work earlier, then comes daylight saving time, slapping me down to subservient clock watching again. It takes a while for my blood sugar levels to adjust. Also it takes a while for my pets to adjust to making them go out and get everything DONE on a clock schedule so I can get to work on time. It's all so stressful. Two times paramedics have been called to my house due to my low blood sugar episodes. How about finding a reasonable half hour change then leave the same forever after that....all over the world.

    Stop the madness. It has been shown that it doesn't conserve energy as it once did.

    This is a useless practice, that does more harm than good. It's beyond time to abolish daylight savings.

    I live in Florida. Trust me, I don't need an extra hour of hot sun in spring , summer and fall. ( If anything, we needed that extra hour in the winter when the daylight is already in short supply.) I wonder who instituted this ridiculous change in the first place.

    Daylight Saving Time is a Waste of Time. Please end this madness. I and others that have issues sleeping find it difficult to not only lose an hour of sleep but, to try and fall asleep at a reasonable hour when the sun is still up!! PLEASE, stop this antiquated practice now.

    I think the standardized message could use a little more meat, but you get the point. The only reason more Americans haven't written or objected to DST is because they're too stupid to know how. Practicing this antiquated ridiculousness is like pronouncing Diesel incorrectly because that's the way it's always been done. Do you know how stupid that sounds? Do you know how stupid we look to other nations? We keep doing something stupid and useless because that's the way we've always done it? The entire concept is beyond ridiculous. I will leave you with this quote: "only a white man would think cutting a foot off the top of a blanket and sewing it onto the bottom will make the blanket longer."

    I am an elementary school teacher. DLS is extremely disruptive to my students' sleep rhythms. Whenever we make the change my students go through a week or more of messed up sleep which has a huge impact on their learning. Please, can you do something to stop this unnecessary practice?

    Time to stop this nonsense of "springing forward". While driving to work in the mornings, I would see many children standing out in the dark, waiting for the school bus. This time changing is ridiculous with no redeemable factor. We don't save energy because there are more hours the air conditioner is on when people get home earlier...we need to be more intelligent like Arizona which decided they didn't need an extra hour of the heat that summertime brings.
