Make Daylight Savings Time Permanent

Make daylight savings time permanent, with additional light during waking hours.

Why is this important?

Make daylight savings time permanent. It is an antiquated practice that negatively affects the mental health and well-being of people every year during the colder months. As a clinician and LCSW, and I am convinced it would help many who suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder each winter in a marked, clinically relevant sense. Many use therapeutic light lamps and infrared light, and even medication. These are helpful, but that extra daylight during waking hours is vital to mental health. Thanks!
