Yes, This Sleep Doctor Wants Permanent Daylight Savings Time

from Healthcare Musings · host Hesham A. Hassaballa, MD, FCCP

The US House passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2026 on July 14. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine “condemned” the bill. For me, as a sleep physician, I also want DST to be permanent. I don’t buy the circadian misalignment arguments.
