Daylight Saving Time: The Ongoing Debate and Its Implications

Broke On: Wednesday, 01 November 2023 Two bills were presented in Massachusetts in October 2023, one proposing to make daylight saving time permanent and the other proposing to end it. The Sunshine Protection Act, passed by the Senate in March 2022, proposed to make daylight saving time permanent from spring 2023, but it has not been taken up in the House. Nineteen states have passed measures to switch to permanent daylight time if Congress allows it, and nine states are considering legislation to end daylight saving by switching to year-round standard time. The medical community has voiced arguments against the Sunshine Protection Act, advocating for standard time as it aligns better with our internal clock and promotes better sleep cycles. A 2021 survey by the Economist/YouGov Poll found that 63 percent of Americans want to eliminate the semiannual tradition of changing clocks.
