🚨🚨🚨🚨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.

The ultimate solution to procrastination... it's incredibly simple, but too uncomfortable for most people to actually do.

It’s a sad day for me to see Masai Ujiri let go by the Raptors. As a CEO, I’ve always looked up to him—not just as a basketball exec, but as a world-class leader and businessman.

Now that his time with the Raptors has come to an end, here are some lessons I’ve learned over the 13 years:

1.Culture wins. You don’t build lasting success without building a culture in which players believe in each other.

2.Great talent is often hidden. Masai had a gift for spotting overlooked players and investing in them before the world noticed. Find those employees before others do!

https://t.co/7IOSa1Czfx the hand you’re dealt—and still win without complaining. He never let Toronto’s challenges (no free agents) become excuses.

4.Don’t back down when underestimated. Whether in business or sports, others will doubt you. Masai showed how to persevere with pride and built a movement with #WeTheNorth

https://t.co/CkvVamHoGH Steve Jobs said sometimes you have to be willing to “Bet the company” when it matters. Playing it safe never changed history. The Kawhi trade was unheard of in how bold it was. And it made them champions.

Thank you, Masai. You will be sorely missed!

Ian Lee on CBC this AM, watch all of this!

"Trump is the symptom of our problems. I know most Canadians, starting with our national leadership say Trump is our problem."

"Trump has exposed fundamental problems in our economy of rapid declines in productivity."

"We're avoiding the really serious problems."

"Can we really pivot a trillion dollars two way trade with Canada and the US and walk away from the United States to go 10,000 kilometers across the ocean to the European Union, which his friend Mark Carney's friend Mario Draghi says are experiencing similar collapses in productivity and competitiveness?"

"So these issues are not being addressed in this campaign by any of the leaders"

"A German geostrategist said yesterday on the Globe, we don't want your cars. We want your natural resources. We want your LNG."

"Every study I've read shows that we're going to suffer far more than the US. In fact, the OECD said this just this last week"

I’ve talked a lot about the value of getting morning sunlight in your eyes… it’s also good to view (not stare at) the sun in the afternoon. It reduces the sensitivity of your circadian visual system, so you can tolerate more artificial light at night w/o messing up your sleep.

Andrew Huberman: "You have a pulse of cortisol every 24 hours, a "quote unquote" stress hormone. It's not a bad hormone; it's a great hormone. But you need it released at its highest levels early in the day. How do you do that? Sunlight in your eyes increases that peak by about 50%. If you're not doing that, you start running into trouble. Studies from Stanford School of Medicine show that if that cortisol peak is shifted later in the day, you start experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, failure to sleep, and the whole thing cascades."

Honestly, a quote that can be pretty applicable to just about anything in life.
