Summary
This weekend, clocks fall back an hour—bringing extra sleep after Halloween—but the real debate is whether daylight saving time should be permanent. The Sunshine Protection Act, already passed by the House and backed by President Trump, could end the twice-yearly switch if signed into law before Sunday. Proponents say it’s convenient and saves energy, while critics warn of darker mornings for kids and disrupted sleep rhythms. The bill faces hurdles in the Senate, and even states like Delaware can’t act alone without federal approval. The clock change is still coming, but the conversation about making it permanent is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
