🚨🚨🚨Permanent DST or permanent standard time? Two bills are now in play. The House is voting next week on the Sunshine Protection Act — this locks us into permanent daylight saving time year-round. A new bipartisan bill just introduced (Sunshine for Our Kids Act) would instead make permanent standard time the default, ending the twice-yearly clock changes while still giving states flexibility. As I’ve said before: permanent DST is essentially the same as moving everyone to the western edge of their time zone. Morning sunlight arrives later on the clock. Multiple studies show higher rates of cancer and other health issues the farther west you live within a time zone — largely because morning light is far more important for setting our circadian rhythms than evening light. Sleep medicine experts strongly prefer permanent standard time for this reason. It better aligns our clocks with biology, especially for kids, mood, and overall health. We finally have a real choice. Which direction makes more sense to you? #DaylightSavingTime #CircadianHealth
