WHERE THE PUSH TO END DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME STANDS

[THE CHANGE] Clocks fall back Sunday.

At 2 a.m. this Sunday, most Americans will set their clocks back an hour.
Most would rather stop switching.
The real question is which clock to keep.

[THE BILL] Passed the House, stuck in the Senate.

A bill that passed the House in July would make daylight saving time permanent.
It is now stuck in the Senate.

[THE SCIENCE] Sleep scientists want the opposite.

Sleep scientists want the opposite.
They say permanent standard time better matches the body's internal clock, and a Stanford study estimated it would mean three hundred thousand fewer strokes.

[OUR NUMBERS] Austin's mornings and evenings.

We ran the numbers for Austin.
Under permanent daylight time, the sun would rise after 8 a.m. on a hundred days a year.
Under standard time, July sunsets would come an hour earlier.

[1974] Tried once, dropped fast.

America tried year-round daylight time once, in 1974.
It ended within ten months, after children waited for school buses in the dark.

[FOR NOW] Someone loses an hour.

Either way, someone loses an hour of light, in the morning or the evening.
For now, the clocks fall back this weekend.
