Event Summary

Most of the United States will 'spring forward' for daylight saving time, losing an hour of sleep. This time change can disrupt the body's circadian rhythm, leading to sleep trouble and an increased risk of health issues such as heart attacks and strokes, as highlighted by the American Heart Association. Studies also indicate a temporary jump in fatal car crashes. While there are methods to ease the adjustment, health organizations like the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine advocate for eliminating time switches and adopting year-round standard time. Politically, the United States has seen the introduction of the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, and Donald Trump previously promised to eliminate it.
