## Resource

The House just passed the Sunshine Protection Act, aiming to make daylight saving time permanent—ending the twice-yearly clock switch. Supporters tout benefits for outdoor activities and businesses, but critics warn of darker mornings in winter, raising safety and health concerns. A competing bill to make standard time permanent has gained traction, especially among those worried about kids and commuters in low-light conditions. While nearly 20 states support permanent daylight saving, the Senate faces hurdles, and the bigger debate remains: brighter evenings or brighter mornings? Until Congress and the President decide, we’re stuck toggling our clocks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
