Fall back and lock the clock on Standard time.
Thanks to Senator @TomCottonAR for working to stop another permanent Daylight Saving Time disaster! 👏 Now let’s meet the demand to ditch the switch by restoring permanent Standard Time!

Tell the Senate to oppose the Sunshine Protection Act, and to amend or replace permanent Daylight Saving Time with permanent Standard Time!

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.

“Does putting kids to bed while the sun’s out and having them go to school in the dark make sense? Instead Congress should ditch DST.” 👏 Thank you, @SenRogerNiello!

Why didn’t you include an option to move to year round standard time in the survey?

Thank you, Senator Niello! Morning light is essential for natural health and safety. Stop and amend the Sunshine Protection Act. Ditch Daylight Saving Time, restore permanent Standard Time!

Keep our children safe by adopting permanent Standard Time so kids dont have to go to school in the dark and start their day without the benefit of morning sunlight. @SaveStandard @mr_jay_pea

President Trump is wrong. DST doesn’t reduce crime. It delays winter sunrise past 8:30am in most states, reduces sleep, and increases spending (which golf and retail lobbyists enjoy). Permanent Standard Time is a better solution.

School year begins in Texas under daylight-saving time: We wake our kids with the sun down and put them to bed with the sun up. Insanity. If we were instead on standard time: Kids rise for school after sunup and go to bed after sundown. Perfection. #DitchTheSwitchTX
It's early spring and a month into the nonsense that is daylight-saving time. So, we're getting our young children up in the dark and putting them to bed in the light—just as we will in late summer—all thanks to DST. They deserve better. DST has no place here. #DitchTheSwitchTX

Everyone, please tell your senators to oppose permanent DST and amend the Sunshine Protection Act to permanent Standard Time, for balanced sunlight year-round! votervoice.net/ditchDST/Camp…

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time The researchers used a mathematical model to translate light exposure under each time policy, based on local sunrise and sunset times, to circadian burden — essentially, how much a person’s innate clock has to shift to keep up with the 24-hour day.  They found that over a year, most people would experience the least circadian burden under permanent standard time, which prioritizes morning light. The benefits vary somewhat by a person’s location within a time zone and their chronotype — whether they prefer early mornings, late nights or something in between.

Permanent DST was “utter dreariness… pre-dawn gloom… depressing…” Ditch the switch with permanent Standard Time instead!

“There is a huge impact of morning light in fighting off what is called seasonal affective disorder or winter depression,” Wyatt said. “So that is one of the risks of having this new Sunshine Protection Act go through.” 👉 Tell your senators!

A small thing Congress can do. Doctors and scientists support permanent standard time.
“Permanent DST shoves the clock an hour ahead of the sun and asks our biology to catch up. It never does.”
