Some noted that daylight saving time <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jonlovett\/status\/1867704441383829820\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">would most likely not be eliminated<\/a>, as his post suggested, but rather would be made permanent, and the time changes would be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ending the clock change would require the approval of Congress. There have been many bipartisan efforts to pass such a bill, but all have failed. In 2022, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/daylight-saving-time-questions.html#:~:text=In%20March%202022%2C%20the%20Senate,making%20daylight%20saving%20time%20permanent.\" title=\"\">Senate unanimously passed<\/a> a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, but it died in the House. An effort to pass a similar bill in 2023 also failed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The idea behind daylight saving time is to move an hour of sunlight from the early morning to the evening, so that people can make more use of daylight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">William Willet, an English builder, is credited with popularizing daylight saving time in the early 1900s, when he urged British lawmakers to shift the clocks to benefit the economy. Parliament rejected the proposal in 1909, but then embraced it a few years later under the pressures of World War I.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other countries followed suit in an effort to cut energy costs, including the United States starting in March 1918. But there is no consensus on whether daylight saving time actually does reduce energy use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Small-business owners say that when it stays light after work, people are more likely to go out and spend money. But many Americans consider the time switch a nuisance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Parents say it throws off bedtimes for their children. And no one likes losing an hour of sleep when clocks move forward in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2020, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/aasm.org\/american-academy-of-sleep-medicine-calls-for-elimination-of-daylight-saving-time\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">called for an end<\/a> to daylight saving time, saying that the change disrupts the body\u2019s natural clock and can cause health issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/us\/trump-daylight-savings-time.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President-elect Donald J.
