The Oregon Senate has passed a bill establishing permanent Daylight Saving Time in the state, and the Governor has signaled she supports the effort. If it passes the House (and possibly the US Congress, it is a bit ambiguous to me), it could end the semi-annual resetting of clocks which causes so much annoyance and increase of injury and deaths.
Personally speaking, I'd rather it settled on permanent Standard time than Daylight time, but as long as it is steady I think it's better than the current regime.

I agree 100%. It seems intuitively obvious to me. And much of the employment I've held has had strict work schedules, even though there is no good reason to force me to be on a schedule. Moreover, studies have shown people to be way more productive, far fewer mistakes, and much happier and healthier when allowed to sleep and wake based on their body's needs.
