1. Christopher Barnes:

   There are 70 countries that practice daylight saving time, so you have millions of people suffering from sleep deprivation, we work and live in a culture that tries to cram in so much activity. Because of this, everything else suffers. I always tell my students that sleep makes everything better : your work, your life, your health and your relationships.

2. Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947:

   I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme, I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy, and wise in spite of themselves.

3. Edward Markey, quoted in Associated Press, July 22, 2005:

   The beauty of daylight-saving time is that it just makes everyone feel sunnier.

4. Natalie Dautovich:

   With Daylight Saving Time, we experience a desynchronization with the daylight cycle, the clock time, and our sleep-wake rhythm.

5. Marco Rubio:

   The call to end the antiquated practice of clock changing is gaining momentum throughout the nation, studies have shown many benefits of a year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is why the Florida legislature voted to make it permanent in 2018. I'm proud to reintroduce this bipartisan bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, and give our nation's families more stability throughout the year.
