Episode Details

Congress is back at it with time zone drama, debating whether to lock in permanent daylight saving time or standard time — each with its own set of trade-offs. The Sunshine Protection Act, already passed by the House, would eliminate “falling back” in November but risk plunging winter mornings into near-darkness. Meanwhile, a new bill proposes permanent standard time, which health experts favor for circadian rhythms — though it’d mean earlier sunsets and potentially pre-dawn sunrises in summer. Some say that early light boosts melatonin and fitness routines. With bipartisan backing for the standard time bill and competing proposals on the table, Congress may be setting the stage for one of the most consequential clock changes in decades — and everyone’s got an opinion on when the sun should rise.
