This is something we've known for years. Now change it! Keep either standard time or savings time, one of the other.
I saw how it affected school children, especially the spring transmutation.

On last nights local news there was a newspiece that said the US Senate had passed a measure eliminating daylight savings time completely. Of course, the House needs to also pass it and Biden has to sign it. But according to this story, the vote was UNANIMOUS.
No Wonder the senate just voted to make it permanent- not one rep objected apparently.
IMHO, this is much ado about not much at all; however, as kids we loved DST as it gave us more time to play and work outside on summer evenings.

I think many of us were aware that DST messed with our body clocks. I believe there is a reason why we are supposed to get up when it is light and retire when it is dark.
The human body clock works on a forward rotating circadian system. I have read that the body has a 25 hour circadian rhythm in a 24 hour world.
I worked shift work for 31 years, changing every ten days.
The killer shifts were Mid nights, evenings, days as it was a backwards rotating system.
Then Days, evenings Midnights. A forward circadian system. Not as bad!
Then the company went to a real killer. 12 hour shifts. Work three days, get two days off, then back on four midnights. The body never got used to those rotations.
screw daylight savings time and stay on standard time the year round.
Just do away with time all together. Show up to work whenever so the line at Starbucks is never too long.
Screw that. It’s either stay the same or go on DST all year.
I take thyroid meds three times a day and vitamins at night. I don’t like how it screws with that as well. I hate time changes.
