With the time change each spring to daylight saving time, the important relationship between our brains and the sun is disrupted. Sleep experts caution that permanent daylight saving time could misalign our bodies with the sun, causing health issues.

In just a few weeks, Americans will lose an hour of sleep as we “spring forward” into Daylight Saving Time. This should be the LAST time we have to change our clocks. Let’s LOCK THE CLOCK, and pass the Sunshine Protection Act.

Clocks sprang forward across 48 US states this morning — a policy most people assume was designed to help farmers. Daylight Saving Time was not. It originated as a WWI energy conservation measure — Germany 1916, US 1918 — to reduce coal consumption. American farmers lobbied to repeal it within a year. It disrupted milking schedules, crop dew timing, and market hours. The sun, not the clock, runs farm life. The policy has continued for 109 years. A January 2025 Gallup poll found 54% of Americans now want to end the biannual change entirely. When asked which time to keep permanently, 48% favor standard time, 24% favor DST. Research links the spring transition specifically to short-term spikes — increases in cardiac events in some studies, an 8% rise in ischemic strokes in the first two days, and measurable upticks in traffic incidents. Under either permanent option, those risks disappear entirely. 19 states have passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, contingent on federal approval via the Sunshine Protection Act — reintroduced in January 2025, still stalled in committee. For British Columbia, this morning was the last one. The province adopted permanent Daylight Saving Time effective March 8, 2026 — year-round evening light, no further transitions. The case against the clock change is settled. The debate now is which time to keep.

🇺🇸NEW🇺🇸 Congressman Hamadeh believes every state should be a little more like Arizona. That’s why he voted for the Sunshine Protection Act — to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and end the twice-a-year clock changes once and for all. Arizona KEEPS its permanent standard time, just like we’ve always done in State 48.

In "What's Brewin', Bruin?" (1948), the Three Bears have a hard time hibernating through the winter. When they finally get to sleep, Spring arrives, and it's time to wake up. Henry does what most of us wish we could when our clocks "Spring forward" for "Daylight Saving Time."

The fight over daylight saving time is heating up after the House passed President Trump’s bill to stop Americans from changing their clocks twice a year. Supporters say permanent daylight saving time would end disrupted schedules, give families more evening sunlight, and boost businesses across multiple industries. But airlines are warning the change could ripple through aviation, impacting sunrise times, passenger schedules, crew and aircraft positioning, and coordination with global flight networks. Sleep experts are also pushing back, arguing permanent standard time is healthier than permanent daylight saving time because it better lines up with the body’s natural clock. Grady Trimble has more.

Today marks the end of Daylight Saving Time as we “fall back” and move our clocks back an hour. That means one less hour of daylight in the evenings, longer nights, and a rise in Seasonal Affective Disorder. Enough is enough. It’s time to LOCK THE CLOCK.

It’s time to switch to Daylight Saving Time & many of us are dreading it. I introduced Senate Bill 1197 to make standard time permanent. It’s better for our health & aligns with our body’s natural clock, something medical groups overwhelmingly support. 1/3 Save Standard Time

Yes 👏🏻! Please Secretary Marco Rubio 🙏 see if you can get enough votes to keep daylight saving time! I would change my Clock one more time to see this happen. I know it’s not the most pressing issue but I love the longer nights!
