    No one benefits from the daylight savings, most people want it stopped. It makes it dangerous driving in the a.m. for the school children. More heart attacks in the elderly. Also more children and adults call in sick from school and jobs.

    Please get rid of this nonsense. It does nothing but cause health issues and schedule issues. It does nothing beneficial.

    This is a wasteful and unnecessary practice that does not apply for people today. Very few of us are working in farm fields and need to adjust time with daylight. End it please!

    I don't see the need for daylight savings time. It really doesn't give you anymore daylight hours because the days will get longer regardless. As an old Indian saying states Daylight saving time is like cutting the top part of a blanket and sewing it to the bottom and saying that you have a longer blanket. The excuse about the farmers needing more daylight is a bunch a crap as well since they use lighted machine anyway. With daylight savings time as it is presently occurs we are still using electricity because of the darkness in the early morning which negates the electricity we are supposely saving. Also I believe people appreciate the extra hour of sleep they get from standard time. It throws my childrens schedule off with school for at least 4 weeks before they have gotten used to the time. Also it has shown work productivity decrease for at least 10 days with people trying to get the internal clock adjusted for the time change. Tell the government to leave the clocks alone

    Stop the madness! Our bodies are used to our own internal clock. Our schools, and our work places still expect us to start on time as usual nevermind the fact that now we have to wake up an hour earlier. There is no WAY this is healthy or helpful to anyone. Some children start school at 7 am, now suddenly they have to start school at 6 am! As a teacher and mother time change is terrible for academics and learning. There are countless other reasons. What's best for the people? Time change doesn't affect politicians and people who make their own schedules that's why this hasn't stopped. But make them wake up an hour early and go to work at 6! I bet if they have to do that for three to four weeks until their bodies adjust,,, that will be the last daylight savings time! No more time change!

    Besides all the reasons listed by this group, I also want to add that it will benefit people with depression. Our country has changed (flip flop) since this changing the time thing started. The number of people flying for business, as well as, personal is far more greater than when it started. If you won't change it, let the people vote whether it should be changed!

    I see no benefits to daylight savings, only drawbacks like adjusting sleep patterns, schedules, clocks, etc. So lets put an end to it.

    Going to work when it's dark makes me feel like it's still dark while working. Like a gloomy day or some times I feel like it's raining and it's not. We do not have Windows in the factory I work at. When going to work and the sun is coming up makes me feel like it's gonna be a good day. I have less depression issues and better at my job, plus get along better with co workers. Please get rid of Daylight Savings Time.

    It's pointless, useless and time changes naturally. It also affects those on medication and small children in a negative way. Stop the insanity and go back to living in regular time always.
