    Multiple studies have shown that DST causes the following drawbacks and it does not produce the promised energy savings so it is time to STOP THIS STUPID PRACTICE AND ALLOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SLEEP BETTER: 1. decreased sleep = increased stress and heart attacks 2. More auto and workplace accidents 3. $434M in opportunity cost of time wasted adjusting all household clocks twice a year.

    Living in CT is hard enough with the cold temperatures and abundant Snow, let alone losing sunlight. I suffer from seasonal depression and keeping that extra hour of daylight would be a gift and make the winters more bearable.

    End DST. As an Arizona resident I can attest to how much better it is NOT having to deal with the ridiculousness of changing the time twice every year. There is no benefit to this practice, get us out of the dark ages and fix this.

    This is no longer needed and completely messed with businesses now that many areas do not participate. This is an unnecessary and antiquated practice that needs to be stopped.

    The effect on my children's academics is far more detrimental than any explanation can justify. By the time their biological clocks have caught up with the change...it happens again. This is the 21st century. Our law makers don't wear powdered wigs, high heels, or cravats. Let's act like it.

    FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, NJ - A local resident had a serious car accident involving a deer Friday night on South Middlebush Road. Police say, Mark Rodgers, a 63-year-old Somerset resident was traveling northbound on South Middlebush Road when he struck a large buck deer that was crossing the roadway, in his 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The deer came through the windshield and struck Rodgers before it landed in the back seat of the car, police say. Rodgers was taken to a local area trauma center where he is currently listed in critical condition, according to police. South Middlebush was closed in both directions for close to four hours while the accident was investigated by police. Sign Up for E-News According to research by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance collisions with large animals doubles during the months of October, November and December, during deer mating season. One study by the University of Connecticut the most deer accidents occur in November between the hours of 5 and 6 p.m. State Farm also offers some tips below on what to do to avoid a deer strike: Slow down, particularly at dusk and dawn If you see one deer, be prepared for more deer to cross the road Pay attention to deer crossing signs Always buckle up, every trip, every time Use your high beams to see farther, except when there is oncoming traffic Brake if you can, but avoid swerving, which could result in a more severe crash Remain focused on the road, scanning for hazards, including animals Avoid distractions, like devices or eating, which might cause you to miss seeing an animal Do not rely on products such as deer whistles, which are not proven effective If riding a motorcycle, always wear protective gear and keep focus on the road ahead “We know there is an increased risk of collision with deer around dawn and dusk, and also during the October-December breeding season,” said Chris Mullen, Director of Technology Research at State Farm. “However, drivers should be engaged, alert and on the lookout at all times, because you never know when you may need to react to a deer or any other obstacle that may suddenly be in your path.”

    Ridiculous absurd I've been in dst all my life, I'm 59. Being very sensitive to surrounding environment I never get use to the hour we spring ahead. It takes all my momentum, falling back relaxes me and I finally feel normal. Congress stop chasing skirts and do something besides was our time and money. REPEAL the ignorance of DLS

    Sunset at 4:30 is ridiculous. It shouldn't be pitch black when I get out of work. I can't take my dog to the park. I am depressed from SADD. End this madness and just give us our hour back! Spring forward and stay there!
