It’s an idea whose time, as it were, may have come — again.
The twice-yearly changing of the clocks in the United States could be a thing of the past if legislation currently in Congress that calls for permanent daylight time makes it through. But even as annoying as some find the back-and-forth of the time shift in the spring and the fall, that doesn’t necessarily mean sticking to one would go over well. America has tried it before, most recently in the 1970s, and it didn’t last.
Now it’s a new era, one full of people working at home who didn’t before — and advances in sleep science that tell a more nuanced tale.
Could this time (shift) be the charm?
What’s going on this time around?
