Has your alarm been waking you in darkness before you finish sleeping? You could be suffering from DST. Permanent Standard Time can help. Tell your legislators.

Today is Friday, Sept 25, 2026. This is the sky as
@DuvalSchools staff were arriving to work at 6:05a EDT (1) and kids were waiting on their busses in the UNF area at 6:07a EDT (2). Why do politicians want our kids waiting for school in the dark??

Most Americans wake by alarm at 6:30am or earlier. Daylight Saving Time is making most wake in darkness, against natural health. Restore permanent Standard Time!

British Columbia, Canada just went to permanent DST here's why that's a bad idea for metabolic health:
Morning bright light appears to influence metabolism as a circadian signal. In a randomized crossover trial, 45 minutes of morning bright light reduced fat mass and appetite in overweight women, while naturally increasing day length was independently associated with greater weight reduction. Standard Time places sunrise earlier relative to our social clock, increasing the opportunity for morning light and reducing late-evening light, whereas DST shifts the natural light signal later where it is unavailable...

Study done in Russia at the same latitude as Northern British Columbia (55 degrees North).
