When are we going to rid ourselves of this archaic practice. Kudos to Arizona and Hawaii.

From what I understand.....a bill was passed in Senate to end DST. It has not been signed by President and enacted yet. BUT, if that happens....effective Nov, 2023, we will no longer have to change our clocks! 👍 This might be 🤞 the last change!

The Sunshine Protection Act. The House never did vote on it last year since they could not agree on making it permanent daylight savings time or standard time?

On March 2, 2023 12 Senators reintroduced the legislation. Does not have any dates for voting on it though. It would be nice if they had voted on it so we can leave our time like it will be tomorrow after the change?

Yes, turns out our bodies don't like their circadian rhythm messed with. Among other things, stroke and heart attack risks are increased.

People do things every single day that are health risks. No one cares as long as it's something they want badly enough.

@jackiejenny

I think we read the same article. 😄

Personally, I not sure if that's true or not. I tend not to believe these studies but
I do know I love DST!

We've barely had any sun this winter in the NE, so it starts getting dark - 3:00. Very dark and dreary so looking forward to an extra hour of light.
