Permanent DST costs lives when tried, and would send commuters to work and school in darkness on icy winter mornings. Permanent Standard Time is healthiest, endorsed by sleep experts, and in tune with our circadian rhythm.

[StartSchoolL8ter-Ridgefield @SSLRidgefieldCT]

Health experts agree that *Standard Time* is healthiest and safest.
No to Atlantic Standard Time, and no to Daylight Saving. Let our kids go to school in the sunshine. #healthyschoolhours

The Society for Public Health Education joins the formidable list of health, education & civic leaders supporting school start times that give adolescents a chance for healthy sleep #startschoollater #sleeppeeps @SOPHEtweets @StartSchoolL8r https://t.co/mA3nsmg2bT

"The real reason is just the mental and physical well-being of our students, and if we can provide them the best opportunity to succeed, why wouldn't we?"

Friendly reminder that most places would still have sunrises past 8am if permanent DST were in effect – some as late as 9am! Nobody wants to go to work in dark, icy conditions. 🥶 Restore permanent Standard Time!

Amazing what's possible when school leaders decide not to follow an adult-led agenda!

Schools of every shape and size have found feasible, affordable ways to start class at safe, healthy hours. Florida's schools can too! #startschoollater #SB296 @startschooll8r @RenataFCNews @news6wkmg @srpressgazette https://t.co/EUihisZK0A

@cpsj Winter shortens our days, and no law can change that. Daylight Saving Time is instead a mandate to wake early (at the expense of health).

It's not too late, @RidgefieldPS and @RPS_DaSilva. Join us in Baltimore to learn how to get this done for Ridgefield's children.

@ClaireWTOV9 @WTOV9 Starting school at times that give students a chance for healthy sleep MUST and CAN be done. #startschoollater #sleepmatters https://t.co/UNScCSvvEi

Ohio County Schools continues dialogue about start times: "It’s happening all over the country. It can be done, and it is in the best interest of our students."

Why do so many schools still start at unsafe, unhealthy, counterproductive times? Fear of change, failure of imagination, and ignorance about sleep.

Everything else is an excuse.

A rising tide lifts all boats. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Darien and @RPS made the change together?

[Healthy Hours @HealthyHours]

The 7:40am DHS start time trails the natl average, as well as our peers in Greenwich, New Canaan, Westport, Wilton, etc. These towns saw the science and took action to prioritize teen health and well-being, some as many as 20 years ago

About 80% of US teens don’t get enough sleep. If we heard 80% lacked access to adequate food and clean water, there'd be a national emergency. So why are we so indifferent to sleep insufficiency—or its key driver? - Craig Canapari, MD

Buses start dropping students around 7am (pickups start 6:30am 😣). School begins 7:25am. This is RHS permanent DST vs permanent standard time. Kids need morning light and #healthyschoolhours! #healthyhours @SaveStandard
