@RobertKennedyJr We need to end DST once and for all. Adopt Permanent Standard Time for everyone's health and happiness.
@HHSResponse @SecKennedy Secretary @RobertKennedyJr: Permanent Standard Time would decrease obesity by 2.6 million cases. Please stop the Senate’s extension of Daylight Saving Time disguised as “Sunshine Protection”!

Solar time measures the sun’s exact position. Standard Time measures the sun’s approximate position. Daylight Saving Time measures…nothing!

Remind lawmakers in your state and in Congress to ditch Daylight Saving Time with permanent Standard Time for natural health!

Tell lawmakers and the press to ditch Daylight Saving Time and restore permanent Standard Time—for health and property!

“Internal clocks align with the sun, and Standard Time matches natural light. Permanent DST can delay sleep, decrease sleep duration, and lead to chronic sleep deprivation. American Academy of Sleep Medicine supports permanent Standard Time.”

“Throughout DST, the average person gets less sleep and experiences a chronic circadian misalignment compared to Standard Time. Over months, this can feel akin to living in the wrong time zone.”

Any state can self-exempt from Daylight Saving Time; permanent Standard Time is federally pre-approved! Send our draft legislation to your state lawmakers to file:

These bills may be adopted by any lawmakers, to abolish Daylight Saving Time and restore permanent Standard Time.

@LilaGraceRose We can end the nightmare by cancelling "spring forward". Make Standard Time Standard Again.

If we didn’t fall back to Standard Time, sunrise in winter would be past 8am for several months, even as late as 9am! Dangerous for morning commuters and schoolchildren. Daylight Saving Time should be illegal, instead!
Switching from daylight savings time to standard time should be illegal

@HansFiene Or we can set the clocks to standard time and let people choose if they want to be the 9:00 - 5:00 crew or the 8:00-4:00 crew.

It's also what most of the world uses in countries that don't change clocks
Turns out Standard Time all the time is really popular, actually. It's also best for health and safety, so...let's do this? @SaveStandard

Dark at 5:30pm is much better than dark at 8:30am, as would be the case with permanent Daylight Saving Time. We need permanent Standard Time!
The people advocating for the Standard time which we are in now which is absolutely ridiculous getting dark at 530 pm when everyones driving home from work & makes driving more dangerous & NO daylight when you get home from work . Also, no one needs it to be light at 6 a.m.. I

@SaveStandard It was so amazing to wake up at daylight and go to bed in the dark! What a concept. My internal clock is back on the correct time! We should never switch in the spring again! Save standard time!

@Verginius_post @SenRickScott Yes! Clocks are meant to be set to the sun. Permanent Standard Time!

“If we called it the ‘Go to Work an Hour Earlier Act,’ rather than the ‘Sunshine Protection Act,’ no one would be voting for it.” Tell Congress to oppose it!

@GeneralJoeM17 There isn't enough daylight in a lot of areas of the country during the winter to give you light in the morning for going to work/school and after work school (7-8am and 5-6pm) at the same time no matter how you shift it. Day light is just sparse in winter, just the way it is.

@GeneralJoeM17 And actually, light at 6 am is wonderful. Great time for a walk before getting the kids to school.

Communities could help teens by starting school later & limiting how late evening activities can go. . . . Meanwhile, standard time in winter combined w/later morning starts gives teens the best chance of daylight on the way to school https://t.co/V3pScXxQNZ

The switch to standard time offers sleep-deprived teenagers a rare chance to catch up on much-needed rest.

“Permanent Standard Time (not springing ahead in March) could prevent 300,000 cases of stroke per year and lower nationwide prevalence of obesity by 2.6 million.” #DitchDST

"Numerous health specialists, safety experts, and research societies consider permanent standard time better for health, safety, schools, and the economy. That's because standard time aligns with the natural circadian cycle." https://t.co/n0Q02oWrh6
