When every American must suddenly adapt to the loss of one hour of sleep at the same time, it creates a dangerous situation, with increases in car accidents, heart attacks, and other preventable problems. This a major problem with the switch to Daylight Savings Time. Many people prefer the longer days of DST, but many others prefer having earlier daylight so children are safer on their walks to school. This petition seeks to adopt a compromise. We should permanently move our clocks halfway between Standard and Daylight Savings Time.
