Permanent Daylight Saving Time? Here's What's Next | Augusta Georgia News

The House is poised to vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which could make daylight saving time permanent nationwide—ending the twice-yearly clock changes. Nineteen states have already passed similar laws, awaiting federal approval. While the idea sounds appealing for later sunsets, it would also mean sunrises as late as 8 or 9 AM in some places. Health experts warn that permanent daylight saving time may harm sleep and well-being, and alternatives like standard time year-round are also being debated. Unless this bill—or another—passes this year, we’ll still be setting our clocks back in November. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
