Abolish Daylight Savings Time

Created by A.L. on March 03, 2013

I ask the Obama administration to abolish Daylight Savings time. The conditions under which Daylight Savings was created no longer apply in our 24 hour society. Employees hours do not change based on when sunlight is available. Even the energy savings do not really apply, because you are just shifting energy consumption to a different time of day.

This can also adversely affect families with small children. Small children have difficulty adjusting to any change, especially changes in schedule. Just because you say that the clock has changed, they cannot comprehend that.

In the short term, it can be dangerous. In our sleep deprived cuture, you are subtracting an additional hour of sleep.
