ALT [Photo of Author] Stone Bryson 20 January Natural Time [Photo of Sundial] Our ancestors knew. Our ancestors understood. Even before mechanized timekeepers, when the hour of the day was determined by gnomon and dial, they had a grasp of the effect time has upon us. They knew the importance of attuning one’s existence with our celestial star, the life-sustaining force for our planet, thus they created methods to accentuate that attunement. An aspect of that was establishing ‘noon’ when the sun was at its highest point in the sky. We were living on Nature’s time, with our solar companion directing our activities—our days and seasons—and it was the standard. We started our productivity soon after the sun’s rising, and prepared to unwind as it began to set; this manifested springs and summers of growth and vitality, autumns and winters of rest and rejuvenation. Elders wisely led, adults rigorously built, and children thrived in body and spirit… all by the rhythms of the sun. Exactly…

ALT The MAHA Report Health & Wellness Is 'Daylight Saving' a Public Health Problem? Experts say the debate should not be about whether to change the clocks, but which time we should live by Amy Sapola May 29, 2026 Most Americans remember the old memory hack, “Spring forward, fall back,” but few know why we change our clocks twice a year – or have thought seriously about whether we should keep doing it. Yes, you lose an hour of sleep in March. It’s more difficult to wake up. Your commute is darker. Your body feels off. And then, in October or November, you gain back that hour and a little more sunlight, and sometimes forget and are early or late to a meeting? Who needs the hassle? But Jay Pea, founder and president of Save Standard Time, says the country has been asking the wrong questions. The real issue is not just whether America should stop changing the clocks. It is: Which clock should we choose to live by? There are two current options: Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time…

ALT American Academy of Sleep Medicine Coalition for Permanent Standard Time urges Congress to strip permanent daylight time language from H.R. 7389 DARIEN, IL – The Coalition for Permanent Standard Time today called on Congress to remove language from H.R. 7389, the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act, that would advance permanent daylight saving time nationwide. The proposal, drawn from the Sunshine Protection Act, would negatively affect sleep, school mornings, work commutes and public safety. The language was added as part of a broad transportation bill moving through Congress. Ending the twice-a-year clock change remains a goal shared by many Americans, but choosing permanent daylight saving time would create extremely late sunrises in winter, meaning much darker, colder and harder starts for millions of families, students and workers. “Americans deserve an honest discussion before Congress permanently changes the clock for nearly every home, school and workplace in the country,”…
