Do You prefer Daylight Saving- or Standard-Time? or Do You Like the Twice-Yearly Shift?

Reports say that the Senate has introduced- and passed a bill (that still needs to pass the House and President Biden before it becomes a law) that says Daylight Saving Time will become permanent (i.e. if the bill becomes a law, all American clocks will continue at the same setting as they are now (rather than 'setting clocks back an hour in the autumn')). The article says that lots of sleep-experts argue that we should set our clocks back to Standard Time & THEN stop using Daylight Saving. I don't think it makes any difference to me which one they choose, but I get a tiny thrill from reminding people when they need to shift their clocks an hour (twice a year). But David Neubauer, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University, says "With daylight saving time, we are perpetually out of synchronization with our internal clocks and we often achieve less nighttime sleep, both circumstances having negative health impacts. Extra evening light suppresses the melatonin that should be preparing us for falling asleep. The later dawn during daylight saving time deprives our biological clocks of the critical light signal.” But I would enjoy more of those 'endless summer dusks' (although they'll be cold dusks in the winter). What do you think?
