Episode Details

The push to make daylight saving time permanent is gaining steam, with President Trump urging the Senate to pass legislation—already approved by the House—to ditch the twice-yearly clock changes. Proponents tout longer evenings for retail and tourism, plus potential safety perks like fewer crashes and crimes. But critics, including sleep experts, warn that permanent DST means darker winter mornings, disrupting natural circadian rhythms and raising safety concerns for kids commuting in the dark. The debate boils down to a simple trade-off: evening light or morning brightness. For now, clocks still change—unless Congress acts before November 2026.
