Leave it on summer schedule so that we can get home and see kids before dark in the colder part of the year

I think the changing of the time is a cool concept that should stay.

Itā€™s mind blowing for children to learn/understand how the abstract concept works and shows them how time is just a grid laced over the globe.

I wouldnā€™t mind keeping the time changes actially, but people whine, so who knows

I have written to all my federal gov reps on this. Itā€™s low hanging fruit for making people hate them less twice a year. A self imposed ridiculous thing they canā€™t fix. Please Please Please lets make this insanity stop.

I live in the Midwest here and Iā€™m getting tired of the daylight saving time! Every 6 month changing the clock, then Iā€™d have to get used to the new time of waking up or sleep pattern change. I already am a light sleeper, I barely have enough sleep as it is and im sure many people have to get used to the new time every time we change the clock! Its not very healthy for those who are used to the sleep pattern they already have! So please!!! Remove it!

Absolutely support this. The misconception and hate on permanent standard time is invalid.

The non-profit organization Save Standard Time explains it well.

I personally have lost jobs due to day light savings time, having to shift my schedule every 6 months takes a toll on my income because I can never wake up on time when we spring forward, even with an alarm clock. I wind up staying up later too.

Yea, DST is f-ing retarded. Another thing the rest of the world laughs at us for.

Get rid of daylight savings time itā€™s so outdated and terrible for young children adjusting. This would be beneficial for children to have consistent schedules and easier on the parents being forced to adjust them two times per year. It works not having it in Arizona and Hawaii and it needs to happen throughout the entire US. There is no point to having this still in 2024. It affects children in the classroom adjusting constantly they do not experience much daylight to play outdoors after school.

It made sense in a time when we needed the extra day light, but now we have portable stadium style lighting systems that can be used. The tech is there to work in the early morning hours.

I think thatā€™s speculative at best saying that it is the natural clock, inferring that people are going to sleep at 5pm during the winter, and Iā€™m sure you can make the case that lives and money have been cost due to darkness in the evening in the farthest east and north of the country during winter. Honestly, what weā€™re all experiencing is vastly different from one another depending on latitude and position within a time zone. My health, personally, would benefit from more light in the evening.

Where has it historically cost lives and money? Is there a particular large-scale study that youā€™re referring to?

seriously? itā€™s only ONE hour folks! does it really matter in the grand scheme of all the treasonous activity going on right now? OK, sureā€¦ letā€™s consider this AFTER regaining at least SOME of our Natural Right, eh?

we already voted on this 4 years ago. we want it stopped, any which way they put it is fine with me but stop switching.

Iā€™d prefer they work lessā€¦get paid less. The more they are in DC the more harm they do to our country. Sometimes less is more.

Many of you are too young to remember when permanent DST was tried in 1973-1974. I was a student, and remember going to my 8:30AM class in the dark. It was dangerous for children trying to get to school. So many problems that they didnā€™t try it again. I support permanent Standard Time.
