But that’s exactly what permanent DST is! Just because the clock still says “7 xDT” instead of “7 xST” doesn’t make it the same time.
Yes it is, because everything else around me moves an hour. I have to move because time is standardized. When time goes to standard time, if I just kept the same schedule, everything else moves an hour later: sporting events I might want to watch, social gatherings I might want to go to, and so on. Thus, I wind up being up “later” and thus want to get up “later.” No man is an island. I can’t just stay on a DST schedule by myself.
And I don’t think standard matches our biology in some magical way. Noon is the middle of 5”the daylight, but for most people, the middle of there day is closer to 1pm.

This sounds an awful lot like you’re arguing for continuing to change our clocks twice a year. I’ll assume benefit of the doubt that this is just a misunderstanding.

Sorry if I’m confusing, but I am in favor of not changing clocks. I am just responding to your statement that I should keep going on at the same solar time or whatever you want to call it. As long as clocks keep changing, I will have to adjust as most of the rest of the population adjusts.
It’s not magic. It’s science.
They don’t provide much evidence aside from a link to a hearing that will not load for me. But I don’t know what their assumptions are. I doubt most will have a schedule available or even choose a schedule that aligns to perfect circadian rhythms. I also want to know what their position is in the effect of much earlier sunrises in the summer, where some areas will see light at 4 am or earlier. When I have seen other groups justify standard time, the focus is almost universally the issue is morning light in winter, and ignores what will happen to sunrises in the summer. Yeah, the winter has little light. That’s just a fact of nature.
I still say most, given the choice, already choose or are forced to choose a schedule that somewhat is suboptimal for circadian rhythms.
Also, I think if that is the argument, that you have to look at the time zones themselves. Many are in the wrong time one based on solar time.
