The Future of Daylight Saving Time: What You Need to Know

Daylight Saving Time, where clocks are adjusted forward in spring and back in fall, is set to end on November 5th. The practice, which began during World War I to save fuel and power, has been a subject of debate and controversy. While some argue that it disrupts body rhythms and has minimal energy-saving benefits, others highlight its positive effects on public safety, mental health, and the economy. A bipartisan bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent was passed by the US Senate in March 2022, but it still needs approval from the House of Representatives and President Joe Biden to become law.
