This whole thing about Daylight Saving Time is just plain unnatural! To be totally honest with you, it drives me mad! Being that I'm both totally blind and have Autism Spectrum Disorder, I'm one of those girls who is resistant to change. And, I'm one of those girls who believes that Mother Earth made our bodies to wake up with the sun, no matter what our clocks might say. Also, think of the poor farmers, whose cows, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and so on, are confused by the annual madness of Spring Forward, Fall Back. Like me, the farmers and their animals don't care what time the clocks say, they wake up with the sun! I mean, in the spring and summer, I hear a rooster crow outside my window from the house behind my apartment building at 5:00 AM! Despite the fact that a law in Eugene, Oregon says that residents aren't allowed to have roosters in the city limits. Hens are OK, but roosters can get you in trouble! That is, unless of course you're a farmer. But then again, farms are usually out in the countryside. For me, this whole Daylight Saving Time is hard on me because it messes with my natural sleep patterns. It seems the only way I can adjust to Spring Forward is to go to bed at 9:00 when I usually go to bed at 10:00, and wake up at 5:00 when I usually wake up at 6:00. Another thing that drives me mad is I have to set my analog clocks an hour forward, because when Spring Forward begins, I'm an hour behind! When my alarm clock says 6:00, my computer's clock, which is on a satellite time server, automatically says 7:00! Last night was the first night I slept well in 8 months! I wrote a letter to all three senators in Oregon, and I got an answer saying that sure, Oregon can come off Daylight Saving Time, but it won't happen until 2021! That's ridiculous! Grrr it makes me grouchy in the mornings when we spring forward! I say stop it, and I say stop it now! I've got an idea. Why don't we all band together and make a movement to abolish this ridiculous, antiquated practice that is Daylight Saving time. Or, if we can't get rid of it altogether, let's make a plan to Spring Forward an hour for the three months of spring from March 20 to June 21, then go back an hour in the summertime, since the days are already longer in those months. -

End this stupid daylight savings time. It's a health hazard, wastes electricity, and for metal detectorist it's like me, it's hell. Nothing is worse than going to work in the dark, and getting off work in the dark. If this isn't repealed, I am going to rebel and do everything an hour later and this might cause me to lose my job. Lastly it causes children to lose their minds and they will wither away and die. If you don't do it for the poor children do it for me. Please get rid of this garbage, please, please, please.REPORT COMMENTS

Agreed, it's a practice that only does more harm than it does any good, if any. It causes more heart attacks when the times change, there's not proof of benefit in the modern times, it's not the 1950's. It also disruptive to an infants sleep cycle, causing aggravation everywhereREPORT COMMENTS
