How we can stop the "Sunshine Bill" - please give me 2 minutes today!

Hi Reader

This morning I had a fun email planned about how astronauts get diabetes (I'm serious lol - watch the video here) - but I decided that THIS was way more important & I will write that article on Sunday.

On Tuesday the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act. It makes daylight saving time permanent, all year, and it's in the Senate right now.

I want to be really clear, because people assume they know which side I'm on. I am completely for ending the clock change. The twice-a-year switch is bad for your body.

But there were two ways to end it: Permanent standard time, or permanent daylight time. And they picked the wrong one.

Standard time matches the sun. Daylight time shoves your clock an hour out of sync with the sun, all year. Which sounds harmless until you run it through winter. Under this bill, the sun wouldn't come up until 8:30, 9, and in parts of the country close to 10 in the morning. Millions of people waking up, commuting, and putting their kids on school buses in full darkness, for months.

I've spent the last five winters doing nothing but studying how light drives human metabolism, mood, sleep, and hormones - AND coaching people all over the world who really suffer in winter (especially my clients in Northern states)

So let me tell you plainly: the people who wrote this bill are selling it as a health win, and it is the opposite. Stores and restaurants will stay open later - but you will pay the price.

Your body clock is set by morning light. That first light in your eyes anchors your cortisol, your melatonin that night, your appetite hormones, your blood sugar, your mood. Take it away for months and everything drifts. This is the winter weight gain. The 3am wake-ups. The wired-at-night, wrecked-in-the-morning pattern. The seasonal mood crash so many of you write to me about every January.

Your body not getting a clean morning signal. And this bill makes it worse, on purpose, all winter.

And I am not the fringe voice here. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and 20 medical organizations formally recommend permanent standard time, because it's the one that matches human biology. This bill does the exact opposite of what the sleep scientists asked for.

We also tried this in the 70's and it was quickly reversed! This is not new.

Here's the good news: it is not law yet. It's in the Senate, the Senate is genuinely split, and a version of this has stalled before. A wave of constituent calls can stop it. This is winnable.

I wrote the whole thing up. The full biology, who gets hit hardest, exactly what to say to your senators (a script you can use), and the phone number to call them in about two minutes. It's all in here:

​READ THIS, THEN CALL YOUR SENATORS - click here for all the details → *and please forward to all your friends and family members*

Two things I'm asking you to do:

Read it and make the call. The article walks you through it. Two minutes, one phone number, a script you can read word for word.

Then share that article with every person you know who feels winter hard & ask them to do the same. The friend up north. The one with teenagers. The one who goes quiet every January. Forward this email, text them the link, post it. Most people have no idea there was even a choice between two versions of this, or that their winter mornings are about to get an hour darker.

We finally have the whole country paying attention to light and time and the body. Let's make sure they get the direction right.

Read it. Call. Share it. It actually matters this time.

Warm Regards,

Sarah

P.S. If you only do one thing, open the article and make the two-minute call. Everything you need is right there, the number, the script, all of it. Then send it to the one person you know who struggles most in winter.
