I feel subtly sleepier as sunlight grows seasonally scanter.
Permanent Daylight Saving Time—a mandate to wake an hour early all winter—would not help.

Saturn on the evening of the 19th.
Rings continue to open, now at just under 1° open, but i haven't been able to spot the gap between the rings yet. Need better seeing and better processing!

Finally, some common-sense legislation. Daylight Saving Time is outdated, and permanent Standard Time is better for sleep and overall well-being.
👏 Washington State Rep Matt Marshall (R) now sponsors HB 2119 to ditch Daylight Saving Time—thank you! 👉 Permanent Standard Time is naturally best for health. Please tell your WA state legislators to sponsor HB 2119 and SB 5001 in 2026!

I am quoting statistics from the US Census Bureau and the Center for Disease Control. Cursing at me and falsely accusing me of “privilege” can’t change the data.

Permanent DST would put sunrise in WA past 8am (when most work/school begins) for 3–4 months every year. Millions would suffer negative consequences to mental health, physical health, and safety. It was a deadly failure in 1974. This is not an “edge case”.

Clocks are tools for timekeeping and for navigation. Longitude determines time, and therefore time can reveal longitude.

When we start work/school at 8am Daylight Saving Time, we’re actually starting at 7am Standard Time. DST is a hidden mandate to wake earlier and sleep less.
We could also not start work/school at 8 bleeping AM...

Most Americans wake by 6:30am to start work or school by 8am. All humans need sunlight in morning the most. Permanent DST failed nationwide when last tried. 8:23am sunrise is far too late for health, safety, education, and productivity.
I am directly south of you in northern California. On Dec.21st the sunrise will be 8:23AM PDT. Before or after that sunrise advances by 2mins/day. Washington's problem is the northern latitude that it's located on, the rest of the country always has better sunrise times than you do.

The data show most Americans wake by 6:30am to start work or school by 8am, too many Americans are sleep-deprived, and nearly all Americans need more exposure to morning sunlight.

Standard time is time
The point of Standard Time is to give a fair measurement of the sun that’s practical at a global scale for businesses and individuals to set schedules.
The point of Daylight Saving Time is to misrepresent the sun to force earlier waking and boost shopping (which also deprives sleep).

Thank you, @repmarcveasey.bsky.social, for noting permanent Daylight Saving Time’s failed and dangerous history! Permanent Standard Time instead would give most Americans a little more time for sleep in the morning. Amend or replace the “Sunshine Protection Act”!
