Sleep Health: Journal of the National Sleep Foundation February 21, 2026 Adolescent sleep health: Recommendations from the National Sleep Foundation Natalie D. Dautovich, PhD ∙ Heather E. Gunn, PhD ∙ Joseph M. Dzierzewski, PhD ∙ Rafael Pelayo, MD ∙ Kyla L. Wahlstrom, PhD ∙ David Gozal, MBA, PhD Objectives Adolescent sleep is linked to indices of health and well-being, including academic performance, physical health, mood, and safety. However, biological, psychological, and social changes make it difficult for adolescents to obtain enough quality sleep. As a result, the percentage of adolescents who achieve optimal sleep has steadily diminished for decades. Reversing this trajectory requires a multipronged approach and involvement from numerous stakeholders, including adolescents themselves. To support this need, the National Sleep Foundation sponsored a multidisciplinary Adolescent Sleep Health Conference to identify recommendations to improve adolescent sleep health in the United…
“Daylight Saving Time harms sleep during spring forward, throughout the entire period in DST, and during periods of permanent DST.”
Last time permanent DST was tried, it COST CHILDREN'S LIVES! That's a good reason NOT to do it. Let's ditch DST, and restore permanent Standard Time instead!

@murray.senate.gov while I agree that we should lock the clocks, there are numerous scientific studies that show that permanent STANDARD time would be much healthier for people as it would align more closely with natural circadian rhythms. Permanent DST is not a good solution.

CBS News Lawmaker proposes ending daylight saving time in Pennsylvania By Josh Taylor October 30, 2025 / 6:55 PM EDT / CBS Pittsburgh Daylight saving time happens only twice a year, but the semiannual changing of clocks leaves an impact on the rest of the calendar. Currently, 48 of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia follow daylight saving time, excluding Arizona and Hawaii. State Rep. Russ Diamond (R-Lebanon) is proposing House Bill 119 in an effort to make Pennsylvania the third state to opt out, as permitted by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Diamond says there are multiple health hazards and other concerns that result from changing clocks twice per year. "The incidences of strokes go up twice a year in the weeks following the changing of clocks," said Diamond. "There's a measurable decline in academic performance. There's a measurable increase in accidents, workplace accidents. "Just in general, for everybody, it's kind of a pain in the butt." Diamond says for…

Sleep Health: Journal of the National Sleep Foundation February 2026 Drowsy driving prevention: A National Sleep Foundation position statement and call to action Joseph M. Dzierzewski, PhD, Spencer A. Nielson, MS, J. Todd Arnedt, PhD, Mark R. Rosekind, PhD, Brian Tefft, BSe, Imelda Wong, PhD Abstract Drowsy driving is a prevalent form of impaired driving at the intersection of sleep health and public safety. While drowsiness has been implicated in up to 21% of motor vehicle crash fatalities, drowsy driving is largely preventable, primarily by allowing for adequate sleep opportunity and obtaining sufficient healthy sleep. National Sleep Foundation calls for targeted actions from a broad range of community members to improve public sleep health and road safety. Combating drowsy driving requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach across drivers, educators, government policy makers, healthcare professionals, industry, labor representatives, employers, and law enforcement. Actions…
