In the past six years, 19 states have made efforts to move to year-round daylight saving time. So what’s in the way?

    The week after we move clocks forward in the spring, thereby “losing an hour”, there is a marked increase in car collisions and heart attacks.

      It’s kinda absurd if you think about it. We’re here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

        I’d prefer daylight time myself, but frankly I wouldn’t complain about either option being made permanent.
