Stop Nevada Daylight Savings

The Issue

Time to stop the practice of Daylight savings time in Nevada!

Daylight saving time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the fall.  

In effect, daylight savings time causes a lost hour of sleep in the spring and an extra hour of sleep in the fall.

Daylight savings time shifts clocks which sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment and sleep patterns. Some states do not participate in daylight savings time, which is confusing for employees and workers switching from state to state. 

The more important issue is the HEALTH of all persons involved. 
I have seen first hand the issues that affect our Children.  Children need structure and a steady routine to aid them in their development. The school year is the busiest time for them and parents work very hard to help establish a solid and healthy routine, but daylight savings time occurs during the school year and causes a very disruptive affect in sleep, eating and homework patterns. 
This is a major concern and has been going on way to long to not speak up against the practice. 

In addition, Nevada is a 24 hour state and our around the clock employees already see the health risk of shift work. Then our Great state throws a major hit at them by making an unnecessary hour adjustment to further negatively affect their health and sleep.  

We our now in the 21st century and the days of daylight savings has done nothing to improve the lives of Nevadans.    

Please for the Greater good of Nevadans stop this unhealthy and abusive practice.
