Canadian Sleep Research Consortium, Canadian Sleep Society, Canadian Society for Chronobiology, and over a hundred more nonprofits oppose permanent DST and urge instead for permanent Standard Time! www.researchsleep.ca/time-change
This is the wrong decision. Permanent *standard* time is far more sensible and safe.
Permanent DST means 9:41am sunrise in Calgary, 9:51am in Edmonton. Permanent DST’s lack of morning sunlight increases accidents and decreases productivity. Voters said no to pDST in 2021. Why not adopt permanent Standard Time for natural health?
Please!! We need Permanent STANDARD time!!
Langford’s latest sunrise is 8:06am PST, but permanent DST would make that 9:06am PDT! Langford currently has only one month of sunrises after 8am PST, but permanent DST would make that four months of sunrise after 8am PDT! @kguiry.bsky.social savestandardtime.com/chart/?city=...

Congressional signal lights are posted in all hallways of the congressional offices.

Earlier this week, I joined several members of @savestandard.bsky.social and of the Coalition for Permanent Standard Time in Washington DC, for many scheduled and impromptu meetings with members and staff of Congress and of the US DOT. Thank you all for your support!
Exactly. Darker morning commutes under permanent DST are not just a visibility problem. They also put people on the road with worse circadian alignment and more sleepiness, which is a rough combination for crash risk.
This is the boring answer people keep trying to skip. Morning light is not a lifestyle accessory, it is clock-setting input.
If the goal is fewer circadian collisions, permanent standard time beats permanent DST because the body cares where the sun is, not where politics put the clock.
“Naturally aligning the clock with the sun and ensuring adequate morning sunlight are essential to health. More than 100 medical and scientific societies support permanent Standard Time.” #DitchDST #MALeg www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/24/o...
DST is a plot by the morning people to make us all wake up early.
I WANT MY HOUR BACK and I live in CT. Standard Time yr. round gives everyone their hour back. For Businesses they can urge people who like to get up earlier to start playing outdoor sports earlier in the day. Change work hours. We have choices today we never had before. Hour Power take it back.
This is worth contacting your state representatives to help ditch DST.
No daylight is saved, it is just needlessly futzing with clocks twice a year.
Thank you, Dr Yuen, for testifying; and thank you, Senator Niello, for leading this legislation—yes on SB-1197 in CA!
DC’s Initiative 84 contained no interstate-contingent effective date; it sought to exempt the District of Columbia from Daylight Saving Time as soon as legally possible. dcboe.org/ballot-measu...
Artemis II returns to Earth today!

At @savestandard.bsky.social, we generally advise state-level bills for DST exemption should include an interstate contingency on the effective date. Our website offers suggested wording for each DST-observing state plus DC here:

Thank you for the reminder. I phoned the DC BOE at 202-727-2525 just now. They confirm that “No petitions were submitted by the proposer” before a deadline that they state as having passed on February 13, and therefore Ballot Initiative 84 (Time Stability Act) has indeed failed.

I repotted last summer with Gubler fine grade orchid grow mix. I initially let the bag bake in my hot Arizona garage for a week, to ensure no bug infestation (a common problem with store-bought soil). No fertilizer. Room-temp tap water weekly, slowly from a long-spout can. Pot has a drain hole.
Rhode Island has a bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time with surrounding states! Tell your RI state lawmakers to SUPPORT S 2179: www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...

Sadly yes. The crash above occurred “around 6am” on March 19 in Toledo. Because of Daylight Saving Time, sunrise was delayed from 6:40am EST to 7:40am EDT. savestandardtime.com/chart/?city=...
Second driver in Talmadge crash dies of injuries, medical officials say share.google/iEB8aGxLbVbB.... I think DST had a hand in this one.
Sunday sleep-ins can feel like recovery and still sabotage Monday.
The problem is not extra sleep. It is shifting the whole clock later.
If the weekend was rough, the safer move is usually a not-too-late wake time plus an earlier night, not turning Sunday into jet lag practice.
Lived in Tokyo for five years and absolutely loved this. Something about the early morning sunrises helped me actually wake up feeling like I was ready for the day.
Permanent DST is a mandate to start school an hour early. We already start school too early. If someone wants more daylight after work, that someone should change his/her work hours instead.
Use our form to tell your Georgia state house representative to OPPOSE HB 154—no to four months of morning darkness! No to separating GA from every other state’s time zone! www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...
Georgia’s longitude is permanent EST, which is federally pre-approved. Changing time zones to AST would cause cause for business, communications, travel—and it cost kids’ lives when last tried. Tell your GA state reps to OPPOSE HB 154!
