Ceasing the biannual clock change may be a good choice, but governments need to be
mindful of which permanent time to adopt. Many regions of the world already follow the
wrong time during standard time, and circadian misalignment would be amplified by moving
to permanent daylight saving time. In many regions, Standard Time better aligns with our
circadian clock, thus providing a more natural light cycle that minimizes circadian
misalignment.
