Tap title to read story
Former President Trump is urging Congress to permanently adopt daylight saving time, ending the biannual time changes. He cites its popularity and the significant costs associated with the twice-yearly adjustments. This follows the Senate's 2022 passage of the Sunshine Protection Act, although it stalled in the House. While some support permanent daylight saving time for increased evening daylight, concerns remain among sleep experts about its potential negative health impacts. They argue that permanent standard time, aligned with the sun, is a healthier alternative.
