Episode Details

The U.S. House just passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent — but here’s the twist: four out of Oregon’s six reps voted against it, despite the state’s history of resisting clock changes. Back in 2019, a similar effort stalled federally, and Oregon’s own bid to stay on Standard Time hit roadblocks needing California and Washington’s buy-in. Opponents argue Standard Time better matches natural sleep rhythms, boosts morning light for kids and commuters, and protects farmers from winter darkness — while research from Harvard and Stanford hints permanent DST might actually harm health. The debate’s far from over, especially with Oregon’s reps split and real-world impacts still up for grabs.
