It's Time To End The Clock Changing Madness

The dreaded time has come for Americans to lose one hour of sleep as we “spring forward” to daylight saving time (DST) and move forward our clocks. This adds another nuisance as it is already difficult for Americans to sleep enough with the constant stress of COVID-19, economic woes, and societal unrest throughout the country. One easy way to improve our sleep is to end this ridiculous ritual, which creates needless headaches and causes the unnecessary aggravation of changing our clocks twice a year. It may have been a good idea when it was implemented in 1918; however, over one century later, it has lost its usefulness. In November, it will be time to “fall back” an hour to standard time. All this clock changing leads to increased accidents, a higher incidence of heart attacks, a loss of productivity and a pointless confusion for the American people.
