RUSH: Do you know how Daylight Savings Time is killing us? How do you think? If you just had to wild guess, it’s obviously a Drive-By Media concern. Daylight Savings Time is killing us. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, yes, but it’s effective sleep pattern. The one hour of sleep that we are losing every spring when we turn the clocks forward is causing people months of distress, months of sleeplessness, and it’s causing some people to die prematurely, and the story is what should we do to fix it?
Should we eliminate it? Should we go on daylight time year round? We can’t continue this way with some states on it, some states not on it. I’m sitting here, I’m thinking, okay. So these people are concerned that turning the clock forward one hour one time per year is causing sleep disorders that are ultimately killing people? With the left, virtually every wrong is killing somebody!
This is just ridiculous. What about people with insomnia who don’t sleep much any night of the year? What in the world is the point they’re trying to say, turning the clocks up one hour, one day a year, is causing calamity with American sleep patterns? My God, folks, we are surrounded by so much ignorance and stupidity every day that you have to work hard making sure that it does not infect you.
Insurance actuary charts do point out a number of dangers involved with time changes.
I wholeheartedly agree. It messes me up for a month! I lived in AZ for 6 years, and it was wonderful to not have my sleep pattern disrupted. Please, America. Stop messing with natural rhythms.
NO daylight savings time. NONE. AT ALL. EVER AGAIN.
NO daylight savings time. NONE. AT ALL. EVER AGAIN.
Thanks. Sleep patterns are deeply ingrained and hard to change. When you do change them there is a price to pay. Doing it arbitrarily twice a year isn’t worth the price to me.

Changing the clocks is a stupid exercise. Keep DST all year around.
Keep Standard Time all year round.
He’s in FL without kids. No cares about havoc it wreaks up in Northern states. And yes, the answer is to stay on it 12 months a year.
Ban international travel because of this....
In Arizona was have more daylight than we know what to do with

Maybe you should find a way to ship it up to Alaska where it is needed. Pipelines could be built from Phoenix/Tucson across the Grand Canyon and the Rockies.
Forget Canada, they would charge too much for importing and of course, their concern about Global Warming.
Cutting one foot off of a blanket and sewing it on the other end does NOT give you more blanket!

Would you then have two left feet or two right feet? what is the point
Florida has passed a law making DST all year no change. Up to feds to approve. I hope we can get this in 2020. None of my clocks are right and I don’t sleep right after time change.
DST already ended in Russia. Europe looking at it.
It’s apparent to me, after reading all of the comments on this thread, that most of the complainers have never served in the military and been moved to other parts of the world occasionally.
I saw a couple of comments that indicated that DST causes more accidents, heart attacks, etc. ...How does more daylight in the early evenings do that?
I don’t know about deadly, but it is retarded. Indefensible.
Then you must NOT have lived in Tuba City!!

ZULU time for all?
Why would we care what time it is in Africa?...................
To be sure that the Nigerian prince is awake when we wire him the money.
**Should we eliminate it?**
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
