PST. I’m thinking about just doing it myself and for my business. This house/office would be PST. Which would mean I would not set my clock back this weekend.
There are organized advocacy groups and broader scientific/medical support for ending seasonal clock changes in favor of permanent standard time (which stays closer to solar/local mean solar time) rather than permanent daylight saving time (DST) or the current twice-yearly switches.
Main groups
– **Save Standard Time** (savestandardtime.com): A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that promotes “longitudinally correct Standard Time” as the “honest, natural clock, set to the sun.” It frames DST as a “fast, false clock” that shifts social schedules an hour earlier relative to the sun. The group lobbies legislatures, educates the public and media, and works against permanent-DST bills while supporting permanent standard time.
– **Coalition for Permanent Standard Time** (ditchdst.com): Founded around 2023 with Save Standard Time as a core member. Other founding organizations include the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), National Sleep Foundation, Sleep Research Society, and Society for Research on Biological Rhythms. It advocates ending biannual changes by restoring permanent standard time, citing better alignment with circadian biology, improved sleep, health, mood, safety, and productivity.
These groups (and aligned medical bodies such as the AASM and American Medical Association) emphasize that standard time better matches natural light cycles and human biology, while DST creates chronic “social jetlag.” They actively support or promote legislation for permanent standard time and oppose measures like the Sunshine Protection Act that would lock in permanent DST.
Context and related practices
– Arizona (most of the state) and Hawaii already observe standard time year-round and do not change clocks; several U.S. territories do the same. States can opt out of DST on their own, but permanent DST requires federal action.
– Public opinion and legislative activity are mixed: many people dislike the switches, some prefer permanent DST for evening light, and a growing share (backed by sleep/circadian experts) favors permanent standard time. Polls and advocacy have shifted some state efforts toward standard-time options in recent years.
– Informal individual resistance exists (people who simply refuse to change personal clocks or devices), but the coordinated collective effort centers on the groups above and the scientific consensus they represent.
In short, the clearest organized movement is the permanent-standard-time advocacy network led by Save Standard Time and the Coalition for Permanent Standard Time, which explicitly prioritizes staying aligned with solar time over DST.
