Yes, studies and sleep experts (like the American Academy of Sleep Medicine) indicate permanent DST would likely worsen seasonal affective disorder. It delays winter sunrises by an hour in many areas, cutting morning light exposure that's vital for serotonin and circadian alignment. Permanent standard time provides better natural morning light year-round.

I support making Standard Time Permanent Let me explain why ST should be permanent 1. Who wants it to be dark out when your children go to school in the morning? That is unsafe. Who wants it to be light out at 9PM? That makes it much harder for older Americans to fall asleep 2. Did you know America moved to Daylight Saving Time in 1974? The results were a disaster. It was so unpopular it was replaced in 1975 3. Standard Time provides a better alignment with Natural Circadian Rhythms. ST closely follows the sun’s natural cycle, promoting healthier sleep patterns and reducing the risk of health issues linked to disrupted circadian rhythms 4. Studies suggest the transition to and from DST can increase the risk of accidents, heart attacks, and other health problems. Moving to Standard Time eliminates these risks. 5. Permanent Standard Time has been observed for decades in Arizona, Hawaii, all five US territories, and other most nations. Most of Mexico restored permanent Standard Time in late 2022. 6. Over 80 medical, educational, and religious organizations such as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Society for Research in Biological Rhythms support making Standard Time Permanent year-round 7. Standard Time ensures timekeeping is consistent within time zones, making scheduling and coordination easier across regions. 8. Standard Time does not require biannual clock changes, which can disrupt sleep patterns, productivity, and overall well-being. 9. Maintaining a consistent time throughout the year helps businesses, schools, and international organizations operate smoothly without adjusting to time changes. 10. Without the need to change clocks, there’s less risk of scheduling errors, missed appointments, or software issues related to time changes. 11. Permanent Standard Time reduces the risk of sleep deprivation and health problems associated with DST, such as increased rates of depression, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. 12. Studies have shown that students perform better when their school schedules align with natural daylight, which Standard Time supports 13. Research has shown an increase in car accidents right after the DST transition. Keeping Standard Time year-round will improve road safety. 14. Disruptions to sleep caused by time changes have been linked to increased stress and anxiety. Standard Time provides stability. 15. Standard Time aligns better with natural daylight, which benefits those whose work depends on sunrise like farmers, and sunset rather than the artificial shift caused by DST. 16. Studies show that crime rates can increase in the darker morning hours caused by DST. Standard Time keeps sunrise more in sync with daily activities, reducing risks. For those reasons, I believe it is wise to move to Stanard Time Permanently in America
