People have been talking about changing how we handle time for a while. The back-and-forth between Standard Time (ST) and Daylight Saving Time (DST) causes more trouble than it's worth. Health experts and scientists agree that sticking with ST all year would be better for everyone. But politicians are pushing for permanent DST, which isn't the best idea.
The switch between ST and DST messes with our bodies and minds. It can make us feel tired, affect our health, and even cause safety issues. Plus, it's not great for the economy. Most people want to stop changing the clocks twice a year. But instead of going for permanent ST, lawmakers are leaning towards permanent DST. That's not what the experts recommend.
So, how do we get more people on board with permanent ST? It's not just about telling people it's a good idea. We need to show them why it matters. People need to understand the real benefits of ST and the downsides of DST. This isn't just about convenience; it's about our well-being.
Politicians need to listen to the experts and the public. They should focus on making laws that are good for people's health and safety. Permanent ST is the way to go. It's time to make a change that actually helps us, not just follows old habits.
