END DAYLIGHT SAVING PETITION

Even though the upcoming time change technically only steals one hour, studies have demonstrated increased risks of heart attacks, injuries and accidents associated with the disruption of sleep and the efforts it takes to synchronize the body's internal clock.* While we can't make the decision individually to ignore this pesky time tradition, we can make sure we're supporting ourselves as much as possible through the time change and keep advocating to get rid of daylight saving altogether.
