About
The Coalition for Permanent Standard Time (CpST) is a dedicated group of diverse organizations and individuals who support the elimination of biannual clock change in the United States through the restoration of permanent standard time. It’s time to ditch daylight saving time (DST).
Health Precautions
Delayed sunrise/sunset from DST increases the risk of depression, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and fatal car crashes
Dark Bus Stops
DST forces you to begin the day in the dark while you go to work or school. Standard time provides more daylight to start your morning.
Drowsy Driving
When adjusting to DST, evidence shows that drivers may be drowsy on the road, which negatively impacts public safety.
Circadian Wellness
Permanent standard time aligns closely with the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm), which improves one’s health.
Advocacy
CpST advocates for the introduction and adoption of legislation (state/federal level) implementing permanent standard time throughout the United States.
