I appreciate the move to stop changing the clocks back and forth watch spring and fall. Sleep scientists agree that it's not helpful to our bodies. Howe ver, we also need to consider safety. Rather than permanent daylight savings time, we need to have permanent standard time. This will mean a winter sunri se around 7:30 am instead of 8:30 a.m., when young kids are waiting at the bus stops. Multiple studies have shown that morning daylight is critical for our circadian rhythms, and leads to better sleep at night. I urge you to promote permanent STANDARD time.
