DST is a good example of once something gets added it never goes away. Honestly I prefer DST year round, for those saying kids are waiting on busses in the dark, maybe we need to change the time school starts. It’s proven teenagers do better going later but because of after school sports and activities that would mean a later day. Since when is education supposed to be about all of that? We have so normalized football, cheerleading, basketball etc as being a part of our way of life. Think about it. Objectively. I’m not knocking after school activities or sports. I know they’re good but they have become a way of life anyway enough of my rant. That’s just one little tangent I get on when it comes to DST.

YES! The time change is unnecessary and is detrimental to our health. It causes sleep issues, affects concentration and causes physical illness. Having worked for 50 years as a ER/Trauma/Critical Care nurse, I can attest to the increase in motor vehicle accidents, psychological and emotional issues, as well as physical issues like heart attacks in the days following the time change. Older people in particular are adversely affected.
