VOTE No for DST - is vote for better mental health

To: Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Cassidy

From: A constituent in New Orleans, LA

July 15

I am concerned about the mental and physical health ramifications if we were to go full time to Daylight Savings Time. There is a physiological process that is initiated when you get direct sunlight in your eyes in the morning, and this process starts the turn over of creating enough melatonin that you sleep properly overnight. If folks are going into work and to school and it is dark, as most of the population is in school or the jobs by 8am or 9am, you have literally cut off their access to starting of this physiological process. Depression will become an even more serious and pronounced issue.
