Daylight saving time just isn't good for us anymore

But this weekend, the entire US will turn its clocks back. End Daylight Saving Time for Good in the United States!      Sign Now      Indra,   Twice every year, people living in the United States and other countries that observe daylight saving time have to keep track of switching clocks — for Americans, it's this weekend.   While this outdated practice was first implemented to save coal and help farmers, we have progressed so far away from that. The societal factors that created our bizarre time change choices are just not longer required. It's a relic and it needs to end.   Plus, in the spring, when people are expected to "spring forward" and lose an hour, millions of people experience disruption in their daily lives. Studies have even found that when the clocks spring forward, heart attacks go up, as does teen sleep deprivation.   The majority of Americans agree: it's time to end daylight saving time for good. Making standard time permanent would be wildly popular and bipartisan, resulting in millions of Americans feeling better each spring. Sign now to tell Congress: end daylight saving time! Let's stay in standard time for good! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Daylight saving time doesn't fit our society's needs anymore. Plus, it's bad for our health. Sign the petition to get rid of it in the US.      Sign Now
