Remove Daylight Savings Time.

Created by J.C. on January 13, 2016

In a modern society, we all still wonder why we take one day out of the year to wake up an hour earlier and an hour every year to sleep in a bit longer. While sleeping in an hour longer is nice, waking up an hour earlier seems like a royal pain to nearly everybody I know.

Therefore, I think that we should get rid of the system once and for all. We should just keep the current system we have going now, and we should not have to constantly roll our clocks backwards and forwards. Furthermore, when the University of Alabama Birmingham says that heart attack risks go up during this time, and that chances for car accidents are more likely according to The New England Journal of Medicine, it's time to move on.

Let me keep my clocks as is. Let me keep my sleep. End Daylight Savings.
