Permanent Daylight Saving Time?

Follow the polls (or ‘the science’)?

"Dr. Rishi is one of the authors of a 2020 from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a professional society, supporting making standard time—not daylight-saving time—permanent.

Of the three choices—permanent daylight-saving time, permanent standard time or where we are now, which is switching between the two—I think permanent DST is the worst solution,” says Phyllis Zee, professor of neurology and director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine."


“Permanent DST could be particularly difficult for teenagers who biologically have a delayed internal clock which makes them get tired later at night and wake up later in the morning, sleep scientists say. Early school start times already disrupt their natural rhythms. Permanent DST would exacerbate this problem.”
