DST was conceived when the US was mainly an agrarian society which is hardly the case today. It doesn't provide anymore hours of daylight and is mainly a mind trick. I believe the rest of the world went along with the US. When DST was mandated during the OPEC embargo, states were given the option to not go with it, but they must try it for one year. Here in Arizona it was a disaster and we quickly opted out. What a joy it is not to be a slave to an arbitrary time shift twice yearly. If you want more daylight, how about getting up a little earlier? You're still going to get the same amount of daylight and dark.Oct 25th, 2017Someone from San Dimas, CA writes:

Dear Congress. Please consider abolishing Daylight Savings Time. It is unnatural, and the semiannual time change conflicts with our brain's circadian rhythms.REPORT COMMENTS

Daylight Savings Time is a ridiculous practice. Stick to standard time and stop screwing with our sleep patterns. This doesn't help farmers as the cows don't tell time!REPORT COMMENTS

This policy is outdated and no longer needed. Please stop changing around our clocks for no reason. It is particularly hard on children who, due to early school starting times, often do not get enough sleep as it is.REPORT COMMENTS

Please "Stop" this unproven time saving change. I don't understand the beneficial side to losing and hour of sleep. It only gets darker earlier which means more cost to run electric bill higher during fall season. Not to mention the amount of traffic it creates as people can not see well being not used to the time change.REPORT COMMENTS

Changing the clocks back and forth has no useful purpose. It is unhealthy to continue this outdated practice. All states should be placed on their standard time zones and then leave it alone!REPORT COMMENTS

Please stop this. It is unhealthy, a waste of energy, very inconvenient and dangerous to be changing the time. Studies show the side effects. Our biological clocks should be waking up on a regular schedule at normal hours. This is a practice that is outdated for the majority of citizens and those few who still need to change the time they wake up can do so without affecting the rest of the countryREPORT COMMENTS

Please end DST. I lived in Arizona for the better part of my life and there are literally no drawbacks there to not doing DST. We have no mental health issues or other issues related to not being on DST. We sleep well throughout the year! Now I live in Virginia as a nurse and just found out my 12 hour shift will actually be a 13 hour shift. Have you ever tried to work overnight 12 hours? That extra hour means I am going to have to have a family member pick me up because I will be too loopy to drive home. It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. It is unsafe for our patients and unsafe for our doctors and nurses! Please stop DST and all of the negative effects it brings into our lives as Americans!REPORT COMMENTS
