Imagine a world where one simple decision – keeping our clocks aligned with the natural cycle of the Sun – could save lives, prevent accidents and improve mental well-being. It’s not just about an hour of lost sleep; it’s about how small disruptions ripple through our health, our workplaces and even our children’s futures.

But daylight savings is a crude "keeping our clocks aligned with the sun".

Actual keeping our clocks aligned with the sun would mean daily time changes instead of biannual. Sunrise changes daily. That would be standard time. For example sunrise would be defined as 6:30 am.
