Summer sunsets at 9:00 p.m. — not 10:00 p.m.
Fireworks. Bonfires. Family time.
All at a reasonable hour — and better rest year-round.
Under current Daylight Saving Time, summer push fireworks and bonfires to 10 p.m. or later — meaning exhausted kids, cranky mornings.
Permanent Standard Time fixes this: dark by 9 p.m., fireworks on time, kids in bed earlier, and consistent sleep rhythms leading into winter.
Rep. Mike Freiberg’s bill HF1944 ("Stop the Clock") would put Minnesota on permanent standard time. Your pledge helps push this bill forward.
The whole family can enjoy the show together without it turning into an exhausting late night.
Make memories roasting marshmallows and telling stories — then head inside at a normal hour.
Consistent schedules mean easier bedtimes now and bonus sleep starting in 2027.
This bill directly addresses late summer evenings that disrupt family routines. By moving to permanent standard time, Minnesota families would get sensible 9 p.m. warm summer nights.
