Summary
The push to make daylight saving time permanent is gaining steam across the U.S., with nearly 20 states already passing laws to ditch the twice-yearly clock changes. Supporters argue it could reduce accidents, lower crime, and improve health by cutting sleep disruption — though critics warn winter mornings might be darker, with sunrises pushing past 9 AM. New research links time changes to higher blood pressure and diabetes risks, fueling the debate. The federal Sunshine Protection Act, pending Senate approval, could reshape how we experience daylight — and whether we ever change the clocks again.
