End Clock Change, Make Either Standard Time or DST Permanent

  1. Get rid of daylight savings time it’s not good for our health it put stress on the heart when we jump from time to time our elderly need light to drive and night so they are confined to their house more with depression so prevalent sunlight does help that. It’s not right that they passed it in the Senate a couple years ago and then it didn’t pass the house because of other issues, and it was lumped with other things we are tired of not being taken care of, and only used as a bartering chip. This is a bill that would help people!

The original post of this thread is asking both for permanent Standard Time and permanent Daylight Saving Time.

Here the OP asks for an end to DST (restoration of permanent Standard Time):

Get rid of daylight savings time

However, the OP then asks merely for an end the clock change (either permanent Standard Time or permanent DST):

it’s not good for our health it put stress on the heart when we jump from time to time

Next, the OP asks for permanent DST (end to Standard Time):

our elderly need light to drive and night so they are confined to their house

Then, the OP returns to requesting permanent Standard Time (end to DST):

more with depression so prevalent sunlight does help that.

And back again to permanent DST (end to Standard Time):

It’s not right that they passed it in the Senate a couple years ago and then it didn’t pass the house because of other issues

I would propose rewording this post to being a call for ending clock change, not necessarily a call for ending DST.

I believe that the easiest way to stop this is to do 1 of 3 things. Sorry I do not know which is DST or ST. So I will use Fall Time and Spring Time since this is when the changes occur.

  1. We either keep the Current Time as it is now. Fall Back Time and Stop this.
  2. We Spring Forward 60 mins in 2025 and Stop this.
  3. We split the difference and Spring Forward by 30 mins in 2025 and Stop this.

All of these will end the time change and everyone can vote on it now and END THE TIME CHANGE FOREVER.

my 2 cents

I would also be interested to look into crime rates and how they are affected by the lack of sunlight. As a female it can be concerning trying to go grocery shopping ect. and having to walk through dark parking lots.

Crime rates are less affected by visibility, and more affected by mental health. Daylight Saving Time chronically deprives sleep, harms mental health, increases poor decision-making, decreases response times. Permanent Standard Time aligns clocks to circadian rhythms for best for sleep, mood, health, and safety.
