Abolish Daylight Saving Time, Not Standard Time
There is widespread opposition to the twice-a-year waste of time and money to change the clocks, but there is division of whether to remain on Standard or Daylight Saving time and the tradeoff between more daylight in the morning versus the evening, respectively. It may be tempting to agree with either change to avoid the cost and disruption to sleep, but one of these options is better than the other. Because the main reason to oppose changing the clocks is the disruption to sleep and the consequent harm to health and safety, as I have posted every year, Standard time is optimal because our bodies' circadian rhythm is based on it. Therefore, the United States should remain on Standard time to promote health and safety, in addition to saving time and energy.
