The phenomenon is natural: Earliest sunsets come in early December each year (latest sunrises come in early January, putting the shortest day halfway between, on December 21). 👉 It’s another example of why Daylight Saving Time is unnecessary!

DST is a hidden mandate to start school/work an hour early.

DST forces us to start school/work before sunrise, which increases depression, illnesses, and accidents. Humans need morning light most, we need permanent Standard Time.

DST’s deprivation of morning sunlight increases depression.

Thank you!

Yes, Indiana used to have permanent Standard Time (like Arizona and Hawaii have now), and permanent Standard Time is what all states should restore (as it was before DST was invented)!

PERMANENT DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME would push sunrise past 9am, that’s what was tried in 1974. The better way to ditch the switch is with PERMANENT STANDARD TIME, to preserve natural morning light!

Thank you! Yes! The difference matters!

True! DST doesn’t help farmers or save energy. DST is a trick to force earlier waking to boost after-work spending!

DST is for morning people. We want our hour of sleep back every day!

“DST helps farmers” is a myth invented by the shopping lobby.

We are with you on that!

Yes! Keep clocks honest, and give more autonomy back to people!

Permanent Daylight Saving Time is what Nixon tried, and it proved wildly unpopular. Clock switching was thereafter restored.

Permanent Standard Time is different: It scientifically is more healthful, and it historically lasts for decades! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Tried to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent? A 1974 switch to year-round DST proved unpopular, with Americans expressing "distaste" for the long, dark winter mornings

“Standard Time more closely approximates natural light, with the sun overhead near noon. In DST, natural light is shifted unnaturally one hour later.” www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/w...

Smithsonian Magazine What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Tried to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent? A 1974 switch to year-round DST proved unpopular, with Americans expressing “distaste” for the long, dark winter mornings Meilan Solly - Senior Associate Digital Editor, History March 16, 2022 For ten months in the mid-1970s, America’s clocks sprang forward and never fell back. Year-round daylight saving time (DST), signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974, sought to maximize evening sunlight and, in doing so, help mitigate an ongoing national gas crisis. But while the experiment initially proved popular, with 79 percent of Americans expressing support for the change in December 1973, approval quickly plummeted, dropping to 42 percent by February 1974, reported the New York Times’ Anthony Ripley in October of that year. The main drawback to pushing the clock forward permanently was the prolonged early-morning darkness in the winter, which left children…

History proves it, science confirms it: Permanent DST fails when tried. Permanent Standard Time lasts decades. Please tell Congress and your state legislators!

No! Year-round DST has failed several times. It increases accidents and depression. Morning is when sunlight is biologically needed most. Permanent Standard Time is best for health, safety, and prosperity.
