Collaborating for better sleep health
November 8, 2023
The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) supports the recently
updated position put forth by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
(AASM) in support of the U.S. adoption of year-round standard time,
which more fully aligns with the natural circadian rhythm.
Based on a growing body of evidence, the updated 2023 position statement
emphasizes that daylight saving time should be replaced by permanent
standard time. This position is supported by similar statements adopted
by other organizations, including
the American Medical Association.
Read the full 2023 position statement
published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, the official publication of the AASM.
