Coalition for Permanent Standard Time (Ditch DST)

“It's time to ditch daylight saving time (DST).”

A US coalition of sleep and body-clock organisations, run from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, that asks Congress and state legislatures to end clock changes by keeping standard time all year. It gives people an advocacy toolkit with a two-page flyer and a template letter, an online tool to message lawmakers, a sign-on letter for organisations and a personal pledge, and it held a briefing on Capitol Hill.

Research notes

Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (G1); not reviewed by a person. The site shows eight member logos; total membership not stated. The opposing Sunshine Protection Act (permanent DST) reportedly passed the House 308-117 in July 2026 (one local news source); its backers are business groups (US Chamber, National Retail Federation), not a named campaign, so no separate case was made. To verify: 2023, 308-117, 2026.
