Standard Time is closer to sundial (solar) time. Solar noon is when the sun reaches its highest point. Standard Time zones are set so clock noon roughly matches mean solar noon on the zone’s central meridian. Daylight Saving Time simply advances clocks by one hour, so clock noon then occurs about an hour after true solar noon.

Today is Thursday, Oct 22, 2026. This is the sky as @DuvalSchools staff were arriving to work at 6:00a EDT and kids were waiting on their busses in the UNF area at 6:01a EDT. Why do politicians want our kids waiting for school in the dark?? #DitchDST @SaveStandard @SenAshleyMoody @AngieNixon @SenRickScott @RepRutherfordFL

Standard time is so much better for your health than daylight saving, and it basically comes down to when you get your light. ⠀ The light you get in the morning is what sets your body clock. It's what actually wakes you up and gets you sleepy at the right time that night. ⠀ So daylight saving takes an hour of morning light and shoves it into the evening, and then we all wonder why waking up feels so rough. Your alarm doesn't move, but your clock is drifting later.

If clocks didn’t “fall back”, winter sunrises would be later than 8:45am in most states. Dark mornings are worst for health and safety. Stop “spring forward”! #DitchDST

“The Senate has a chance to get right what the House did not. Senators should ditch the switch and land on Standard Time…”
The Boston Globe Permanent daylight saving time is not the fix we think it is Congress is on the verge of getting rid of the current policy. But morning light and evening light are not interchangeable. By Susan Kohl Malone Updated October 19, 2026, 3:00 a.m. Susan Kohl Malone is an assistant professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. “Spring ahead, fall back” may soon be a thing of the past. In July, the House of Representatives, Republicans and Democrats alike, voted to end the twice-a-year ritual. I share this instinct as a nurse and a sleep scientist. Changing clock times is not good for us, but the bill now in the Senate would lock Americans out of sync with the sun. The Sunshine Protection Act would make daylight saving time permanent. That sounds wonderful: more light after work and school, longer evenings. But there’s a catch — making daylight saving time permanent does not create a single additional minute of daylight. The sun does not change when it rises and sets…

“Permanent Standard Time would eliminate clock changes while retaining morning light.”
Mass Live Why morning light matters – and why Mass. should choose a time policy that puts health first Published: Oct. 13, 2026, 10:35 a.m. By Karin Johnson, M.D. Twice a year, Americans reset their clocks and adjust their routines to a change that has little to do with how our bodies naturally function. Congress now has an opportunity to end that cycle. But if lawmakers choose permanent daylight saving time through the Sunshine Protection Act, they could trade one inconvenience for a year-round health and safety concern. Before making that decision, Congress should look beyond the appeal of later sunsets and consider what sleep science tells us about the importance of morning light. The case for permanent daylight saving time is easy to make at first. More daylight after work can mean more time outside and more opportunities to enjoy the evening. But that additional evening hour does not create more daylight – it simply moves it. The trade-off is a later sunrise, leaving people…

Many locations are approaching 8am sunrise, and if we did not fall back to Standard Time, they would see sunrise approaching 9am. Morning sunlight improves mood, keeps drivers and schoolchildren alert, and is overall better for health.

An extra hour of sleep is almost here! 😴⏰ Clocks fall back Sunday, November 1, at 2 a.m. Bonus: Philadelphia's sunrise moves back to around 6:30 a.m.! ☀️ More morning sunshine, an extra hour of sleep. What's not to like?

Except for the kids who'll have to walk/ride to school in the dark all winter. The sun won't rise here until 8:30 am in December. And what about all the seniors who don't drive in the dark? The ones who now go to breakfast well before 8:30. Those businesses will lose customers. It's supposed to be dark at night. It's not supposed to be dark in the morning. Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea. He was a pretty smart guy. Go back and read about what happened when they tried this in 1974. It was a colossal failure.

Okay so these Daylight Saving Time supporters want to say what about during the summer time in June? I want my sunlight at 8:00 p.m. Okay so the first photo has been taken to the same spot in the winter time The photo has been taken at 8:30 p.m. DST. So the second photo is what it's like at 8:30pm on Standard time. It is still light out In Western PA. We do not need DST at all. We went Standard Time in America. Majority agrees with standard time The last two photos has been taken an hour apart 8:35 p.m. On DST and the second photo at 8:35 p.m. Standard time (or 9:35pm DST) There's no reason to have light past 9:00 p.m. at all. So for the people who keep saying well, it gets dark at 8:00 p.m. On standard time. SHOW THEM THIS!! Oh yeah this is from Latrobe Pennsylvania close to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania #Savestandardtime
