This sentiment is being\u200d echoed by Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has\u200b been advocating \u200dfor \u2064the implementation\u200d of permanent daylight savings time through the reintroduction of\u2062 the Sunshine Protection\u2064 Act.<\/p>\n<p>The bipartisan support for this bill is evident, \u2064with several senators co-sponsoring it. Additionally, Rubio emphasizes that the Senate unanimously passed\u200c the Sunshine Protection \u2063Act last year, demonstrating \u2064a high level of consensus on the issue. Furthermore, 22 states have also expressed their support for \u2063the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of year-round daylight \u200bsavings time argue that it \u2064would have numerous benefits. Longer \u2062daylight hours would ensure safer driving conditions and would also provide more opportunities for after-work shopping, thus boosting the economy. Additionally, it is believed that increased exposure to daylight would encourage a\u2063 healthier lifestyle, with more \u200copportunities for outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<p>However, some experts have \u2063raised concerns about making daylight savings time permanent. Kenneth Wright, a professor at the \u200bUniversity \u2063of Colorado at Boulder, \u2063believes that sticking \u200bwith standard time would be a \u2063better option. \u200cHe points to research that indicates that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-daylight-savings-time-may-affect-your-health\/\" title=\"Impact of Daylight Savings Time on Your Health\">daylight\u200c savings time<\/a>\u200d did not save much energy and actually\u2064 led to increased fuel usage.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, changing the clocks\u2062 twice a year has been associated with negative health effects. It is \u200dbelieved to contribute to mood disturbances, increased hospital admissions,\u2062 and a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, according to the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the debate around \u200dyear-round daylight savings time continues\u2063 to gain traction \u200cin the \u200cUnited States. While there is growing support for the idea, some\u2062 experts caution against its implementation citing concerns about energy usage and negative health effects. As \u200bdiscussions and deliberations \u2062continue, it remains to be seen whether permanent daylight savings time \u200bwill become a reality in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Americans are so annoyed at the biannual practice of changing their clocks back and forth that they want to make daylight savings time permanent, although some experts think this is a bad idea.
