Stop the annual changes in time by eliminating Daylight Saving Time.
Why is this important?
The cost of continuing of Daylight Saving Time at the expense of the needs of our bodies is high. Studies have shown that early sunrise is vitally important to mental, physical, and spiritual health. These same studies have also shown that early sunrise benefits many people such as commuters, families, schools, farmers, people sensitive to depression and other mental health fluctuations, people with cardiovascular issues, and people with sleep issues. Daylight Saving Time takes the benefit of early sunrise away from the majority of the people who need it. Additionally, by beginning DST in March, sunrise is pushed even farther back than on the shortest day of the year, December 21. For anyone living on the western-most edge of a time-zone, this later sunrise can be even more detrimental for Americans. As studies have shown, Daylight Saving Time is unnecessary for the average citizen. Let us increase the quality of our lives by honoring our bodies' need for early sunrise and eliminating Daylight Saving Time.
