Why Permanent Daylight-Saving Time Is Bad for Your Health, Sleep Scientists Say

16. Standard time aligns with our circadian rhythm

Which is why there's a push to keep us at standard rather than daylight savings time.
I heard an interesting piece on NPR the day after Senate voted to make daylight savings permanent, with a medical researcher discussing why standard time is better.

For those who do shift work or international travel, it stresses and messes with circadian rhythms. We can "adjust" or adapt, out of necessity, but our bodies are out of wack to varying degrees until we can resume a rhythm more in line with our bodies and the sun.

Personally, I usually wake up with the sun. When we go to daylight savings, the lost hour makes it hard to wake up before the sun wakes me.

Many prefer daylight savings because they enjoy longer days. But the medical community that has researched this is speaking out, essentially saying standard time is standard for a good reason.
