Eliminate Biannual Clock Changes for Public Health and Productivity

The Issue

Our nation's longstanding practice of shifting between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time has outlived its usefulness. This antiquated tradition now only serves to disturb sleep patterns and disrupt productivity. Studies have shown that changing the clock twice a year can lead to sleep deprivation, increased accidents, and reduced productivity, impacting both our wellbeing and the economy (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, American Psychological Association). In light of such evidence, we call on our government to eliminate these biannual clock changes and establish a permanent, fixed time standard. This is not only a means of eradicating unnecessary disruptions to life but is, more importantly, a necessary step towards fostering a healthier, more productive society. Please, sign this petition to support the abolition of biannual clock changes in favor of a fixed time standard.
