The Health Impact of Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent

So for now, the semi-annual back-dialing and future-tripping will continue—with legislation to change it advancing only slowly. Johnson says that since the Coalition for Permanent Standard Time has been educating the public more on the harms of DST, states have stopped pushing for that as a permanent shift. Instead, she says, “We’re seeing many more states that are at least introducing bills for permanent Standard time.” Until they pass, prepare once again for all of the many clocks in your life—in your kitchen, on your night stand, on your phone, computer, watch, tablet, appliances, TV, and in the circadian systems of your very cells—to do their seasonal dance.
