## Resource

The U.S. House just voted to make Daylight Saving Time permanent—no more springing forward or falling back. For small business owners like Seattle’s Amy Clipper, it’s a win for convenience and early morning customers, but a headache for kids adjusting to earlier sunrises. Sleep experts say standard time is actually healthier, syncing better with natural daylight—especially in winter. This isn’t the first time the idea’s been tried: a 1974 experiment failed due to safety concerns, like kids walking to school in the dark. Now, the bill heads to the Senate, backed by Senator Patty Murray and even former President Trump, who promised to sign it. It’s a messy compromise between commerce, comfort, and biology—watch this space. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
