Time to Fix Our Clocks: Why Standard Time is Better for Us

Sun Jul 13 2025

The Problem with Daylight Saving Time

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.
  • Politicians are pushing for permanent DST, which isn't the best idea.

The Impact of Time Changes

The switch between ST and DST messes with our bodies and minds.

  • It can make us feel tired.
  • It can affect our health.
  • It can cause safety issues.
  • 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.

The Solution: Permanent Standard Time

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.

The Role of Politicians

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.
