Back to EpisodesDaylight Saving Time: Pros, Cons, and Year-Round Debate
Description
Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 8th, at 2 a.m. Set your clocks forward one hour, but check your analog clocks on Saturday night. This shift means losing an hour of sleep, but it brings later sunsets. Smoke detector batteries should be tested, and its important to note that the change can disrupt sleep for many, raising stress hormones and inflammation risks. A poll in North Carolina found two in three adults want to ditch the twice-yearly switch, with some preferring permanent Daylight Saving Time and others standard time. The Sunshine Protection Act, which would lock in Daylight Saving Time year-round, passed the Senate but stalled before reaching the president.
