As a child I didn't do well with the switch, and as an adult I haven't either. I do best on more sunlight. Also, when it's switched, then deer get hit, because they don't know when to cross. They had been avoiding the heavy traffic every year, and then the time switches and they get hit by cars. The switching back and forth messes with ours and our pets as well, because we are always changing everything from time working, time putting the dog out, time to eat... It's not healthy. We need sun

Not only that, if you have young children or pets you have a difficult time adjusting their schedule. And no one likes having it dark at 4pm.

If Congress can't figure out what time it is they should pack their bags and go home. Stop this crazy changing of the clocks twice a year

Coming home in the dark is very hazardous. Keeping day light savings time would help me to get home earlier as it takes a longer time to drive because of safety issues.

Enough is enough. We no longer nee3d this system of changing clocks. If we keep DST kids don't have to stand in the dark to get their bus to school; people will have less sleep problems, heart attacks and all the other chaos that this time change brings. Read the statistics.

This is so disruptive to all aspects of life. We need to keep 'daylight savings time' Spring forward and leave it there. Falling back deprives families of quality time in the evenings as darkness creeps in so quickly. And lets not forget the farmers trying establish a routine for there animals, like our pets 'no nothing; about this Archaic habit/ritual. Stop Standard Time by next year... Let 2018 spring be our last change...

No one wants it to get dark early & "screw up" our sleep cycle. You just compound it by stopping DST. How archaic to continue this just because we always believe we have to. Mother Nature takes care of that! We don't need to compound it by turning back the clocks. More illness, depression, accidents & can't change the sleep cycle so easily. The mind does not know we are off daylight savings time. It is past time to give the Americans a stable time. How ridiculous to keep up this ritual. Leave Daylight Savings Time alone!

Eliminate standard time. Keep DST all the time.
