Yes, abolish Daylight Savings Time. I agree 100%!!!
Yes Iām in Michigan and est. I want it light before 9am
We tried that in the 1970ās and it failed miserably. It was not getting light until 9am and kids were getting hurt.
Please Spring forward and then stop the madness. Lets just ratify Sunshine Protection Act of 2022 and implement it!
100% agree! Daylight savings time is not good for peopleās health!

Once we move the clock forward in the spring, it should end. That way, itās lighter outside, making it easier to get things done at home after work. In the summer, itās great to have that extra light.

Iām in favor of ending the fall back time change in Nov when we lose daylight in the evening.
Please make our state like Arizona with NO time change! There is no daylight in the evenings to throw a ball with my children, ride bikes, garden, or just jog because of the daylight saving change. The change is extremely hard on children as it affects their sleep patterns & alters their schedules. It is linked to depression & a high cause of car accidents. Please let me know who I can contact or write to support this change! Thank you for your time!!

Yes!
And, if it is dark in the morning most people will turn in one or two lights. When itās dark in the evening the whole house is lit up along with the appliances.
Same here in Florida. But it will take an act of Congress of the United States to allow individual states to follow through With individually canceling the daylight savings time, initiative
Yes but please stay daylight savings permanent. Many of us work after our regular jobs and need the extra daylight in the evening.

I do like this time change though. I donāt like the fall back though.
Letās abolish the version between November and March. I prefer the sun setting later. IIRC, the March to November is āDaylight Savingās Timeā
I am so glad that I live in Arizona and they donāt participate in this nonsense.

I so agree! Thank you!!!
Amen!
There are pros and cons to everything though. And there are more pros to keeping DST. Only a few areas had mornings that were that dark until 9am. Itās a minority. And those minority areas can stick to the traditional system if they feel they really benefit more from it. But the whole country shouldnāt have to suffer just because a few areas would get much longer darker mornings. The school start time should be later anyways. During puberty, teenagers experience a biological shift in their sleep cycle that makes early school start times fundamentally misaligned with their natural rhythms. Studies show that a 9 AM start time provides benefits including better grades, improved mental health, reduced car accidents, and more sleep. We start kids way too early in the morning.
The rates for car crashes, heart disease and other conditions go through the roof every spring when we lose an hour of sleep. Itās far better to keep daylight savings to prevent that even if some kids in a few small areas trip and fall with minor injuries in the mornings. They should be using flash lights anyways. How many of these kids were experiencing fatal accidents anyways? Was it in mass? And how many kids are actually taking a long walk to school? Most get driven my parents or by a school bus.
Year round daylight savings time may mean darker mornings, but the system we have now just means darker evenings. With our current system, we have to commute home in the dark, with increased risk for car accidents.
I think DST is stupid, but any state can get rid of it at any time. Pressure your stateās legislature to do so. This is not a federal issue.
