Save Standard Time✓

RT @mr_jay_pea: @the_jess_who Demand an end to DST, let everyone sleep an hour longer 8 months of the year.

RT @jamsinnebraska: Now that time is becoming more realistic…sunshine during the day and darkness at night…I feel my mood and motivation level markedly improve. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Ditch DST forever!!!

Multiple studies show higher rates of chronic illness and fatal accidents in counties and states that observe overly fast clocks, such as Michigan (which should observe Central Standard Time, as it did before the mid–20th century).

RT @realjdbreen: @CityNewsTO @SaveStandard Turn clocks back this weekend, then stop:

Michigan has a bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time with permanent Standard Time. Tell your MI state legislators to sponsor SB 126!

RT @chantz_y: @SaveStandard We have a new B.C. premier as of this week. I'm hoping @LDoerkson can help switch us to permanent standard time. Worried about kids & teens walking to school in the dark, some of them alone - not safe!

RT @jocharest1: @PaulPlamondon

“I woke up, and my clock says 7am, but I know by the sun it’s 6am… Taking away morning sunlight from children, it is unimaginable what we may end up doing to the chronic disease epidemic…”

There is bipartisan opposition to the Sunshine Protection Act’s permanent Daylight Saving Time. The Senate should amend or replace with permanent Standard Time. #MAHA

Tell your federal and state legislators to make clocks more honest again, for natural health, by ditching Daylight Saving Time, with permanent Standard Time!

There was bipartisan support to end the time changes, yet even that couldn’t get done in two years. Time changes have always been terrible, but now that I have a baby on a regular schedule, I’m dreading them even more.

Remember to set your clocks from dark, depressing, dangerous mornings (Daylight Saving Time) to easier, safer, happier mornings (Standard Time)!

RT @mr_jay_pea: We objectively set the clock throughout the entire planet by using each location’s longitude. Lima is 77°W, which fits within the ideal boundaries of UTC–5 (centered on 75°W). When the sun is at its zenith in Lima, on average the clock says 12:08pm Peru Standard Time; solar misalignment is only 8 minutes. Seattle is 122°W, which fits within the ideal boundaries of UTC–8 (centered on 120°W). When the sun is at its zenith in Seattle, on average the clock says 12:09pm Pacific Standard Time; solar misalignment is only 9 minutes—but during Daylight Saving Time, the clock says 1:09pm Pacific Daylight Time; solar misalignment is 1 hour and 9 minutes.

“When morning light is delayed, the circadian clock also delays. This makes it easier to stay up late, but harder to wake up early, resulting in a chronic reduction in sleep time.”

RT @Melissa_WongMT: I’m so ready to be done with govt time this Sunday

Canadians, tell your premiers to oppose permanent Daylight Saving Time, and support permanent Standard Time, for balanced light and natural health. Find your premier here:

RT @shash1960: @VernBuchanan 49 say NO thus far a small Ratio that will Grow! We want Permanent Standard Time! The real Time!

“The leading explanation for winter depression is a body clock that has drifted late. The treatment is bright light early in the morning, which shifts the clock earlier. Permanent Daylight Saving Time does the opposite.” #DitchDST

Wrong again! Permanent DST is worse for health, family, and economy. Only permanent Standard Time is best for health, safety, and prosperity!

RT @hmkherman: All this tweeting about the sun setting an hour earlier starting on Sunday and how sad and depressing and forlorn life’s gonna get is only so much manipulative and mendacious gaslighting. These pearl-clutchers want to make us think that Standard Time is some vestigial cruelty of a bygone era; that the sheer perversity of short winter days and long winter nights must be blamed on negligent, misanthropic senators rather than on the tilt of the earth’s axis at 23.44º. As if we as a civilized society in the Current Year should have long since moved past leaving work after sunset! Yet somehow these weepers and wailers never bring up the obvious corollary: shouldn’t we in the Big ’26 have long since moved past going *to* work *before sunrise*? They don’t bring this up not because it doesn’t occur to them, but because it doesn’t cater to their goals. No, for them, sunlight in the evening matters; sunlight in the morning does not. Why? Because the former gets us focused on leisure, entertainment, golf, halloween candy, and commercial profit; the latter gets us focused on vigor, work, and study by day, followed by quiet rest and deep sleep by night. The former fills their pockets; the latter makes us sane. We should relish our quiet, dark, fall and winter evenings! They’re delicious. They’re a healing balm after the activity not only of the day now over – a day that was energized by bright, early-morning sunshine – but also that of the long, verdant and vibrant summer now past. But these people don’t want us to enjoy winter evenings at home, inside, in warmth and peace, with all the interior contentment and contemplative coziness that are bound up in that great but now rare word: “hearth.” Part of the problem, of course, is that we either can’t or won’t learn how to make our own homes places of beauty, places where we *want* to be. Instead we flood them with overhead lighting and fill them with screens, so that even when we’re at home, we’re not. And I bet there’s a big overlap in the Venn diagram between the permanent-DST-foisters and the people who started this trend of mounting TVs directly above fireplaces – so as to gut even the idea of the memory of what a quiet family hearth might be like. In the U.S., the year used to be evenly split between standard time and daylight saving. That still wasn’t ideal. But then Big Candy and Big Golf got standard time reduced to only a third of the year: November through February. It’s only during those four months that midday is truly at noon and midnight truly at midnight. In the other eight months, we set the clocks an hour fast – we get up an hour earlier – and thus we can pretend that the sun goes down later. So for all you corporate pearl-clutchers out there howling and writhing as this weekend approaches: what’s your motive? Cui bono? (Painting: Adriaen van Ostade, A Talk by the Fireplace, c. 1640)

Permanent daylight saving time would bring meaningful health, economic, and family benefits. That’s why my bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act passed the House by a vote of 308-117. America is ready to lock the clock.

Clocks will go back on Nov 1 making it dark at 430 pm. This is a travesty for kids & adults no longer able to do any outside activities until we get back to daylight Savings Time in Spring. All because the RINO's in the Senate wont pass the DST bill!! This is how the cabal wins keeping us in the dark LITERALLY. You all need to holler about this on X in the upcoming days . Let's see who'll post about it Lets see who'll VOTE tomorrow all R so we can pass the make DST permanent bill ASAP YOUR VOTE MATTERS

RT @RepMGS: Standard time is the safest option for our children, not to mention backed by science as the healthiest option for our sleep patterns. That's why I introduced the bipartisan Sunshine for Our Kids Act.

RT @4FlightsMama: @SydWeather People want normal, standard time and if we stopped changing the clocks to "daylight savings" sunsets would gradually get later and earlier. The way it's supposed to be.

Clocks go back to Standard Time, making it light at 7am again. This is a blessing for kids and adults who have school and work. Holler for permanent Standard Time. Ditch Daylight Saving Time!

RT @mr_jay_pea: @NickieVeroExpat @PaulPlamondon Americans want the natural time (Standard Time), not the advanced time (Daylight Saving Time).

“It makes much more sense to maintain Standard Time year-round. Whenever we humans try to improve on the cycles of nature, we invariably make it worse.”

7:15am “Daylight Saving Time” (fast time) is more honestly 6:15am Standard Time (natural time). DST is a trick to make us wake earlier, sleep less, and spend more—against our health!

Remind your state legislators the permanent Standard Time is federally pre-approved and widely endorsed for health and safety!

Remind your state legislators that permanent Standard Time is federally pre-approved, historically proven, and widely endorsed for health and safety. Ditch DST!

“We need to think back to the wisdom of those who established Standard Time so long ago. It is a quality-of-life issue…” #DitchDST #TXLeg

RT @SamuelFByers: @ChrisCinciBiz If you’re a night owl it means you like staying up late into the dark hours That should be the group that least cares about what time the sun sets. They’ll be up past midnight anyway!

RT @txsalth2o: This is why permanent daylight savings failed in the 70’s School bus stops on streets with zero streetlights. I didn’t see this family waiting for the bus in the dark until I turned the corner. But hey, you’ll have more time to golf so f’them kids, right?

Daylight Saving Time makes us set alarms an hour earlier than Standard Time. Night owls are harmed most by DST’s forced early waking.

RT @dewpoint05: @SaveStandard @mr_jay_pea Reflections from Grannysitting this week. 1/2. I have to get my grands to school by 0730. Sunrise 0752 today. This week it has be difficult to navigate the street where both highschoolers and my grand's elementary school children are walking in the dark

While I’d opt for permanent DST personally, I don’t have a problem toggling back and forth. But this is why it won’t happen — the tyranny of the Five AM People who think they’re better than night owls and who’d be Big Mad about the first quarter of their day being in darkness.

RT @aProton_: Americans deserve Permanent Standard Time. Rise and shine hhs i know that you know that i know that you know this science and yet you stay silent on the science which will, with high probability, SOLVE chronic diseases⚛️ @SaveStandard

Daylight Saving Time makes mornings dark, depressing, and dangerous. Standard Time keeps natural morning light, for health and safety, all day, all year.

RT @prageru: Ok let's settle this. Should the U.S. permanently get rid of daylight saving time? 👇

Americans deserve clear answers about microplastics and what they mean for our bodies. Together, @EPA and @HHSGov are meeting that challenge. 👇

RT @UncleAlJuhnke: @Hay0Jim You are 💯 wrong. In the north, we want safe mornings!! #StandardTime for the win!! ⏰

RT @JennGalardi: @DrJoelGator We’re fighting to keep standard time. After the switch next week - END IT. No one is “saving” or “protecting” sunshine. We’re just messing with people’s health.

RT @shash1960: @VernBuchanan Absolutely NOT! We don’t want the Fake /Failed, unnatural Permanent DST, which is factually unhealthy, Factually unsafe & a Failed attempt in the 70s! Majority wants Permanent healthy, Natural, Safe Permanent Standard Time!

RT @LVRoberts: @CityNewsTO The science favours permanent STANDARD time. It better aligns our clocks with human circadian biology, supporting healthier sleep and reducing circadian disruption. That’s why sleep scientists and medical experts widely recommend permanent standard time over daylight saving time.

We only ask for donations a few times a year, and with clocks about to change, now is one of those times. Our annual budget is about $17k. 99% of that is donated by individuals. 91% of that is spent on our travels to DC and to dozens of state capitals. See charts below for more detail. In the last legislative session, we’ve helped more than half a dozen state bills favoring permanent Standard Time advance through at least one chamber (that’s a new record), and now Congress has its first bill favoring permanent Standard Time ever seen in the 21st century. Media coverage and polling have improved dramatically too. Please donate what you can. And thanks always for contacting your legislators and engaging on social media.
