The Ongoing Debate: Ending Daylight Saving Time

TL;DR Summary
As daylight saving time ends, efforts to make it permanent in the U.S. remain stalled. Many states have proposed legislation to stop the bi-annual clock changes, preferring to stay on daylight saving time year-round, but federal approval is required. Senator Marco Rubio's Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to enact permanent daylight saving time, has bipartisan support but remains in committee. Health experts argue that permanent standard time is better for health due to increased morning daylight, which aligns with our natural circadian rhythms.
