Save Standard Time

Ditch Daylight Saving Time. Permanent Standard Time lets us sleep later for health, mood, safety, education, economy, environment. We’re a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.

@PaulFox13 The Sunshine Protection Act stalling is a good thing. Sunrises in Florida would be past 8am for several months, and cost children’s lives when last tried. Clock changes need to end with permanent Standard Time instead!

Tell your state and federal legislators to #DitchDST with permanent Standard Time—set clocks more closely to the sun! https://t.co/EMQ06CHVbb

North Dakota should observe Mountain Standard Time, but at least Central Standard Time is better than Central Daylight Time. Locations that observe overly fast clocks have higher rates of fatal accidents and chronic disease.

“The later our sleep and circadian rhythms are, the less we sleep, and the less healthy we are…”

“Morning light sets our circadian rhythms and makes our moods better. But if we get that light at night, it can shut down our melatonin and keep us awake…” #DitchDST https://t.co/gDp67H9yZK

Standard time is so much better for your health than daylight saving, and it basically comes down to when you get your light.
⠀
The light you get in the morning is what sets your body clock. It's what actually wakes you up and gets you sleepy at the right time that night.
⠀
So daylight saving takes an hour of morning light and shoves it into the evening, and then we all wonder why waking up feels so rough. Your alarm doesn't move, but your clock is drifting later.

Tell lawmakers in Congress and in your state to ditch Daylight Saving Time with permanent Standard Time, and let us sleep! https://t.co/EMQ06CHVbb

Most Americans wake by alarm at or before 6:30am. Daylight Saving Time is making us wake in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep past dawn.

“Your need for bright light in the early part of the day is immense.” We all need permanent Standard Time!

No! Massachusetts longitude fits entirely within the ideal boundaries of Eastern Standard Time. Atlantic Time (a trick to implement permanent Daylight Saving Time) would put MA sunrise past 8am more than two months, to nearly 8:30am. Morning is when light is most essential.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

Should Massachusetts switch to the Atlantic Time Zone year-round?

The case for it: later winter sunsets, no more changing the clocks, more daylight after work and school, and potentially more time for shopping and outdoor activities.

Would you support it?
