Daylight saving time is starting this Sunday in the U.S., with clocks moving forward an hour. This change will result in longer days and brighter evenings until standard time returns on November 2. Daylight saving time was first introduced in 1918 to extend summertime daylight hours by pushing off sunset an hour. While most states adhere to the time change, Hawaii and much of Arizona opt out of daylight saving time. Efforts to end the practice have been made, with the U.S. Senate passing the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent year-round. However, the bill stalled in the House of Representatives, leaving the U.S. to continue changing clocks for now. President Trump had previously expressed interest in eliminating the time change, but there has been no definitive action taken. Many other countries also observe daylight saving time or their own version of “summer time” on different schedules. Some studies suggest that using daylight saving time year-round could have benefits such as reducing traffic accidents and crime, but not all experts agree. Ultimately, the decision regarding daylight saving time remains a controversial topic, with various states and countries considering different approaches.
