Standard time is much better than Daylight Savings Time if the US is to stabilize its clock.

Congress has gotten as far as it ever has in ending twice-a-year clock changes. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time (DST) permanent. It now heads to the Senate. If that passes, your mornings will stay darker for longer. But if it doesn’t go through, another bill is coming right behind it that would stabilize clock time in the opposite direction, enacting permanent standard time.

Ending the clock switch is extremely popular, and science agrees stopping this madness is what’s best for our health. But nearly every major sleep-medicine and circadian-biology organization recommends permanent standard time, not permanent daylight saving time (DST), which the House just approved.

The science about why the direction of the clock switch matters starts with your body.

The proposal coming from the US House of Representatives to make Daylight Savings Time permanent and people in the US would no longer be changing their clocks twice per year is bad for the nation's health and is not based on science.

To do away with the time changes is a good idea and seems to be popular with the American people, but it would be better if the permanent time change was to Standard Time not Daylight Savings Time based on the circadian rythms of homo sapiens.
