> It is the position of the AASM that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology. According to the statement, evidence supports the distinct benefits of standard time for health and safety, while also underscoring the potential harms that result from seasonal time changes to and from daylight saving time.

@trendless
every year for as long as I can remember there are a ton of people wanting an end to daylight savings and all the reasons why keep growing, but nothing actually changes.
@trendless Finally. I have been personally aware of sleeping much better during Standard Time for 50 years. Last night I slept 8.5 hours, almost unheard of for me. It won’t be that for the next 4 months of Standard Time but I will hit my goal of 7.5 hours/night 75-80% of the time.
