Leave Standard time alone. The days get longer naturally. It is now dark at 630 am today and tomorrow will be the same when the kids take the bus. It was finally light outside at 630 am for the last 2 weeks and light outside at 7 pm. The kids will be late to school for next couple of months.

Let’s stop changing the clocks once and for all. I love spring forward because it stays lights outside. I hate fall back and it gets darker earlier. Let’s just not keep changing our clocks. Just pick one Florida and make it permanently.

Permanent dst is the answer school start times can pushed later and still get out at same time. More evening light is more important and majority supports it. Lets do it. Having the time natural doesn’t matter as much anymore.

Please change it to permanent Daylight Savings Time. Changing the clocks twice per year is unhealthy mentally and physically, as it disrupts our sleep cycles. Our economy in Florida also depends on sunshine for those who play outside. For those concerned about the children, there would be more time to play outside and get the extra exercise desperately needed by our children.

Since Floridians voted some years ago to keep DST in place it seems ridiculous that we must have Federal approval to put it into action. That said, this is such a SIMPLE thing to get done, another thing we can’t get our elected officials to agree on and be done with it. PLEASE, it is depressing when “fall back” happens. Just when the weather is getting nicer in the evening to go outside for any reason, it’s too dark. Can’t walk or run safely, do yard work when it’s cooler, etc. DST should happen next year and we should stay with that time ongoing. Thank you.

We would love to have more daylight later in the winter and we support the sunshine protection act.
