Great waking up with daylight today. Welcome to natural time again. #ditchDST #naturaltime #standardtime #Canada c.org/GHtCVpRHtB
Welcome to Natural Time
Wasn’t it nice to wake to light this morning?  Imagine how dark the mornings would continue to be all through late fall and winter if we stayed on DST. Although I am disappointed with the outcome of t...

Clocks have meanings. Keep high noon atop at 12! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime
A picture of two clocks. For the clock on the left, there is a yellow sun at the “12” position, and overlain is the word “THIS”. For the clock on the right, there is a yellow sun at the “1” position, all numbers are rotated 30° counter clockwise, and overlain are the words “NOT THIS”.

We’re proud to support efforts in Europe to ditch Daylight Saving Time and to realign clocks more closely to solar time, natural time!
Time Use Initiative 22 / October / 2025 The Time Use Initiative welcomes the fact that the debate on eliminating the biannual clock change is back on the agenda of the Commission and the European Council The Time Use Initiative (TUI) welcomes the Spanish Government’s announcement to support the elimination of the annual clock change from 2026 and to propose this goal to the Council of the European Union, the body responsible for its final approval. The TUI believes that this momentum could reignite a European debate that has been stalled since 2021, putting on the European agenda a citizen demand supported by 80% of Europeans and backed by scientific evidence proving the negative impact on health, the economy and the environment. In line with scientific evidence and the proposal by the International Alliance for Natural Time (IANT) and the TUI to maintain a more natural solar time (known as winter time or standard time), the organisation recommends promoting a European campaign to…

“Daylight Saving Time shifts light from morning to the end of the day. That is damaging because morning light is the big signal for our body clocks, which regulate sleep/wake cycles, mood, gene expression, hormones, and metabolism.”
FINANCIAL TIMES It is time to abolish daylight saving Changing the clocks twice a year does not extend the light available to us Anjana Ahuja Published Mar 12 2025 The writer is a science commentator In the UK, it is nearly time for the March magic of “springing forward”, when the clocks skip ahead an hour and the endless winter nights give way to the promise of long, light-filled summer evenings. Daylight Saving Time began last week in most states in the US and British Summer Time will come into force at the end of this month. Many researchers, however, regard the stark time shift as misguided rather than magical. Not only do we lose an hour of sleep, leaving us more prone to the mishaps that beset the fatigued, but it messes long-term with the light cues that regulate our body clocks. It deprives us of the morning light that gets us going and bathes us in extended evening light, which disrupts sleep…

“If permanent DST becomes law, it will again make winter a dark and dismal time for millions of Americans, especially for schoolchildren and working Americans.” #DitchDST upnorthlive.com/news/nation-...
Lock the clock or not? Debate over daylight saving time keeps states from switching
Most Americans will have to roll back their clocks by an hour this weekend as the country makes the biannual switch even though most people want to stop.

Permanent Standard Time preserves natural morning light; it’s the only safe way to ditch the switch! Permanent DST would darken mornings past 8am for 3+ months in most states (to 9am in many), which costs lives and money when tried. #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

On this day in 1990, the Nebraska Farm Bureau, Arizona’s house speaker, Allen Neuharth (journalist), and others noted that mornings are easier without Daylight Saving Time’s unnatural darkness. #DitchDST

“For the vast majority of people, morning light from Standard Time is far more beneficial.” #DitchDST articles.mercola.com/sites/articl...
Research Shows Permanent Standard Time Is Healthier Than Daylight Saving Time
Changing the clocks twice a year does more than disrupt your schedule - it throws your body's internal clock off balance, raising your risk of obesity and stroke.
