No one wants to give up anything for their preferred option but something has to be changed to make permanent DSt or Standard time work.
US continues to go forward
- Thread starter JTOSU

I personally would error for the side of health but this is America it will be the all mighty dollar that makes the decision.
I am envious, as I am a morning person. Unfortunately, the majorty of customers I work with are based on the west coast, so if anything I could start work later and end later.

In fact, research shows that teenage and adolescent sleep patterns are hormonally influenced, and not behavioral quirks, rebellious statements or decided attempts to fit in socially. In the teenage years, the hormonal response to the 24-hour daily light/dark exposure that influences circadian rhythm is altered, making adolescents physiologically yearn to stay awake later at night and to remain asleep later in the day.

But with everything there is almost always a negative (or at least parents that will point out a negative). In this case, some transportation issues with athletic events in the afternoon (ie buses and bus drivers not available to drive to athletic events) —- and some students in extracurricular activities were driving home at dark.

I dont know if schools would go for that. Im fine with either one as long as it just stays the same but permanent DST means in the northern part of the country it would be almost 9AM before we get full daylight during the winter.
