#Science says Congress should nix #DaylightSavingTime and go to #PermanentStandardTime, which is better in tune with our natural body clocks, thus improving #sleep and #health. But Congress just reintroduced a bill to nix #StandardTime and go to permanent DST.

Permanent DST would delay WV sunrise to nearly 9am in January, past 8am nearly 4 months. It cost lives in 1974. Schoolchildren, farmers, commuters need morning light for health/safety. Restore #PermanentStandardTime instead. https://www.facebook.com/CongressmanAlexMooney/videos/1149128272381278/

“Daylight Saving Time’s longer, less conspicuous impact on human physiology doesn’t go away so quickly.” Tell legislators to #EndDST with #PermanentStandardTime! https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sleep-talking/202211/should-we-let-go-daylight-saving-time
