🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide.

This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up.

The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong:

• Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock.
• Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most.
• Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
• Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time.
• The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology.

The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health.

If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on.

Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference.

@LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The science strongly supports ending the twice-yearly clock changes.

Where the debate begins is which time should be permanent.

Most sleep and circadian experts favor permanent standard time, not permanent daylight saving time, because morning light is the strongest cue for aligning our biological clocks.

As @hubermanlab has noted, we often confuse what feels good (later sunsets) with what is biologically optimal (earlier morning light).

Unpopular opinion: I love Daylight Saving Time. But permanent Standard Time makes more sense than permanent DST. If we’re only choosing one, let’s choose the one that aligns with nature.

What do y’all think?

[Alex Clark @Realalexclark]

Everyone agrees the twice-a-year clock change is ridiculous.
But if we’re making one time permanent, why choose the one that most sleep and circadian experts don’t recommend?
Permanent standard time aligns better with our biology because morning sunlight is what sets our internal clocks. Permanent Daylight Saving Time means darker winter mornings, later body clocks, and more circadian disruption. This would be another disaster for American health. It’s probably too late to stop this but switch this to permanent Standard time instead!!!!

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

Oops, never mind, that was Eric Trump today.

“Daylight Saving Time harms sleep during spring forward, throughout the entire period in DST, and during periods of permanent DST.”

[Senator Roger Niello @SenRogerNiello]

It’s time to switch to Daylight Saving Time & many of us are dreading it. I introduced Senate Bill 1197 to make standard time permanent. It’s better for our health & aligns with our body’s natural clock, something medical groups overwhelmingly support. 1/3 @SaveStandard

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.

This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

Did you know, if you treat Trump supporters the way they treat everyone else, they get very upset?

[Congressman Jared Moskowitz @RepMoskowitz]

Under Trump’s “Golden Age”, the risk of recession is up, and the stock market and consumer sentiment are down. Only perhaps William Henry Harrison had a worse 100-day start to his presidency.
