A correction to this article has been issued. No states can stay on DST come Nov. 1st without a change to the federal law first.

I invite you to take a photo 90 minutes before sunrise and another at sunrise. lol I have many such photos and we never have noticeable light more than about 30 minutes before sunrise in my location.

I don't know where you live but where I'm at there is only about 30 minutes of noticable twilight before sunrise. No where near 90. Photo from 6:30 am 9/4/26. Sunrise that day at this location was 7:11am. It's pretty dark just 41 minutes ahead of sunrise.

If kids go to school an hour later then parents will go to work an hour later and get home an hour later and we'll all have exactly the same amount of after school/work light we had before changing everything to get exactly nothing.

I'd love to stop the switching. We can do that by keeping standard time all year. It'd provide sunrise before 8am all year, more light at morning bus stops in Fall and spring AND still usable light past 8 am all summer.

Data is there for anyone who cares to look. Screenshots come from timeanddate.com. Civil twilight at 9pm on DST would be 8pm on standard time. On DST it's light well past 9 pm for 4th of July delaying fireworks until around 9:45 to have adequate darkness to enjoy the show

I agree standard time is best. Golf is an affluent sport & affluent people have more schedule autonomy than any other segment of society. If they want to golf they will adjust their schedule that day. No need for everyone else to go to work/school for months at a time.

The American academy of sleep medicine and many other health organizations say that perm. DST would be worse health wise than clock changing. Only permanent standard time would be an improvement.

Top photo is 8am standard time on Jan 1st. Bottom photo would be 8am DST on Jan 1st. HB 154 would keep GA sunrise later than 8am beginning early Nov. until March; 4 full months of even later darkness than we already encounter in Oct & Mar on DST. We need to keep morning light.

It looks like your in Phoenix where earliest sunrise is 5:17 am not 4:30. With civil twilight 4:49 on the earliest day. It's early yes but it's also not fully dark before 8pm during the same month.

It doesn't though. The switch in March takes us from daylight to darkness at morning bus stops and we get that back again in October until we fall back.

I was off by 1 minute. Our sunrise was 7:54 am today not 7:55. Evening twilight extends until 8:03 pm and it's only March.

For me children's safety is more important than after work leisure. Evening light was extending without the clock change. We should have just let that happen naturally and kept the kiddos safe too.

It's not summer that's the biggest issue, they have all day to play outside in summer. It's late winter, early spring & Fall until the time shift. I have grandkids & pitch dark bus stops are not safe for them. DST causes this for too much of the year.

These photos are real and time stamped from Oct in flowery branch GA which is not located ON the east coast and where civil twilight is after 7am the entire month of October. Facts do matter, light varies by location.

Flowery Branch GA is over 200 miles from the cost. Sunrise today 7:55 am. Civil twilight (when it begins to be light enough to be outside) 7:30 am. My pictures are real in my location and time stamped accurately.

We don't love that here in GA. We need the morning sunshine you're about to be stealing. Please change your bill to permanent standard time as recommended by health organizations across the country.

I do understand your position however DST here in Sept/Oct once again makes these same bus stops dark at 7am. People here are very tired of that as well.

Please @senMarkKelly introduce a bill to return the nation to year round standard time and oppose year round DST. DST throws mornings into darkness unnecessarily. Sunlight extends on it's own as the seasons progress. No need to spring forward at all.

Here's a reason why permanent standard time is needed in GA. This scenario repeats in Fall until we regain our lost hour. We definitely don't want DST in winter. @repbuddycarter review the data on this issue. Health expert consensus is that standard time is the healthiest option

It does affect families. Light is the most natural & healthy way to wake & darkness a few hours ahead of sleeping promotes melatonin production allowing us to sleep. Adding light late into the evening makes sleeping on time harder. Forcing waking in darkness makes waking harder.

First light varies by location. Here's a map of GA but you can select any state here savestandardtime.com/maps/?j… . In my location the latest sunrise would be around 8:45 am & there would be 120 days with sunrise past 8am. Should everyone in the western side of time zones move East?

There's a lot of data supporting morning light as a significant factor in overall health. I suspect you'll disagree but here's a quick search on the issue. Also check out savestandardtime.com for many sources on this issue.

We should all observe time zones defined by longitude without additional offset. If some states are in the wrong time zone then they should be switched to the correct one for their longitude. No offsets... just correct time zones.

Morning light is already scarce on standard time. If we repeat the mistake of keeping DST in winter, New Years Day at 8:03 am would look like this at my house & in many locations across the nation.😪 We need to stay on standard time all year instead & not spring forward in March

Absolutely not! Winter road conditions are at their worst each day just before dawn. pDST would force millions of people to commute and put children at school bus stops during those most dangerous road conditions in the pitch black for months. Support standard time instead.

Another fun fact. Time zones have crept west over time. For example GA used to be in the central time zone. I'd love to go back to that but would settle for permanent eastern standard time to avoid the months of morning darkness we currently experience on seasonal DST.

It won't be in GA actually, which is why standard time makes even more sense here. 5pm yesterday photo below.
