I'm old enough to remember the US' experiment with permanent daylight saving time. What a disaster. Standard Time's the best time!

“Morning light tells the brain it’s time to wake, raise energy, and set our daily rhythm. Standard Time keeps our daily schedule close to that natural signal. Daylight Saving Time does the opposite.”

Fascinating, thank you.

Astronomers know the time. It’s not a random number we pull from the sky…it’s a calculated number we pull from the sky.

From the photos above: Permanent Standard Time preserves morning light. Permanent Daylight Saving Time makes it pitch black at 8am in winter.

Keeping Standard Time year-round is something Arizona gets right.

No permanent clock is favored yet in this bill, though thankfully the sponsor is in contact with the Canadian Sleep Research Consortium. Please tell your MPs to listen to sleep doctors and support permanent Standard (and not support permanent DST).

I had to check whether this was real. It seems to be so.

Night owls want to wake later (after sunrise), not earlier (before sunrise). Standard Time permits the former; DST forces the latter.

Curious. Would you have any documentation of this, please?

Darkness past 8 or 9am under permanent DST is unacceptable.

Mr Jay Pea @jtheletter.com · 3d

We experience temporary jet lag when we travel. We experience permanent jet lag when we observe DST.

Mr Jay Pea @jtheletter.com · 3d

Standard Time is a standardization of solar time. DST was instituted to force earlier waking and boost shopping (at the expense of health).

Mr Jay Pea @jtheletter.com · 3d

You have it backward. DST is for morning people. Standard Time is for most people.

🚨 Congressman @tomsuozzi.bsky.social (D-NY) now sponsors permanent Daylight Saving Time “Sunshine Protection”. Would put NY sunrise past 8am for 3 months, as late as 8:45am. 👉 Permanent Standard Time is needed instead. Tell your congress members to file the draft legislation on our website!

It is a fact that the further we misalign clocks from the sun, the less we sleep and the more our health suffers. www.frontiersin.org/journals/phy...

Ireland’s Standard Time is the same as the UK’s: Greenwich Mean Time. I presume that Ireland named their DST “Irish Standard Time” instead of using the same name as the UK in order to avoid invoking the B-word in “British Summer Time”.

In North America, “Standard Time” means the clock aligned to the sun, and “Daylight Saving Time” means the clock advanced an hour. Biologists in Ireland and worldwide oppose the latter and endorse the former. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/dayl...
