End Mandatory Daylight Saving Time

Created by J.H. on October 31, 2011

Daylight Saving Time is an aggravation to people who work, and are tired of rising in the dark most of the year. It does not save energy, as electric cost to consumers in Indiana went up almost $9 million the year they were forced to adopt DST. As lighting becomes more efficient potential savings by DST become even less, and costs even more (DOES DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME SAVE ENERGY? EVIDENCE FROM A NATURAL EXPERIMENT IN INDIANA).
DST change disrupts natural sleep-cycles with expected changes in productivity and observed health effects (http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/sleep/articles/2009/0...).
