Start Daylight Savings on Friday at 2:00PM rather than 2:00AM Sunday.

Created by G.A. on March 11, 2013

Research has shown an increase in accidents and health related issues (such as heart attacks) the Monday after 'spring forward.' People only have one day to readjust their internal clocks. People also lose an hour of an already short weekend.

Please consider changing the start of Daylight Savings Time to Friday at 2:00PM. This will give people two full days to adjust their schedules before Monday, helping reduce potential accidents and health issues.

Many people would like to end DLS all together. This change may be enough to appease those who want to abolish DLS by reducing their work week by one hour and giving back an hour of the weekend.

Thank you!
