Please, no more changing clocks for daylight savings time!!! We need to stay on permanent STANDARD TIME!! For health reasons and safety reasons, especially for our young kids that are going out to school buses and other ways of transportation for getting to school and with DST, they are in the dark, way too dangerous.. Also it has been proven and medical experts back it up that permanent standard time is overall more healthy for the body and earlier morning light makes it easier for the body to awake. Let’s think of our children out there in the dark hours. It’s almost 9am sometimes before it’s completely light out and that’s just way too late.
It is a abundantly clear that daylight savings time was intended for reasons that a no longer applicable to our modern day society, and a HUGE factor of decreased mental health for thousands, if not millions across the United States. There is no reason we should tweak the natural circadian rhythm of our bodies. This needs to be a permanent switch for the greater good.
No more daylight savings! We have enough troubles with our sleep patterns, why further exacerbate this chronic conditions for many Americans? End daylight savings, fall back to our "original" historical time during the Autumn.
My mental health suffers every year from seasonal depression. It would be tremendously helpful to so many like me to see this year's leap ahead made permanent to mitigate the impact of having less sunlight during winter months, but most especially evenings. Longer evenings of light would be so beneficial to mental health for our country!
I deeply urge members of Congress to pass this bill and abolish the outdated and harmful practice of changing the clocks twice a year. The practice of switching between Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time was established over a century ago, and it has far outlived its usefulness. The practice of changing the clocks twice a year is detrimental to public health and safety without creating any benefits to the American public. I ask that Congress and the President of the United States please do what is in the best interest of the American people and finally eliminate this obsolete and unnecessary policy.
Every parent in America is affected by DST. It takes weeks to adjust with small children. It’s impracticable, unnecessary, and outdated in our modern age. At least one state, Arizona, agrees too. But it’s time to make this Federal.
Daylight savings time does nothing in the way of helping anyone. It's just a wasted thing people have been needlessly doing for decades. Losing daylight hours negatively impacts so many people physically and mentally. Kidsget home from school and it's already getting dark outside so they can't go out to get the much needed vitamin d from natural sunlight. Please stop this!
I am a mail carrier. Christmas is our busiest time of the year. It's also when it becomes dark early. It's dark by 4pm and we are still out delivering mail and packages. Going up to a home at 9pm in the dark is scary. Some homes are dark and rural. No street lights, no lights along the long driveways, sometimes not even a light on outside the home. It's much safer delivering packages when it's still light out.
Please clarify the request in the petition. I'm signing to abolish Daylight Savings Time and return to Daylight Standard Time, given research that supports this: https://savestandardtime.com/
As a modern day farmer losing an hour in the morning is miserable. Having to have a job while being a cattle rancher I already struggle with getting up early enough to get my chores done before my job.
