Opinion: Permanent Daylight Saving Time Not the Solution
The article discusses the proposal to make daylight saving time permanent, which has received bipartisan support in the House of Representatives. Experts warn that this change would disrupt human circadian rhythms by shifting morning light later, leading to health risks such as increased heart attacks, accidents, and negative impacts on adolescents' sleep and academic performance.

The Senate is now considering whether to eliminate the clock switch and adopt permanent standard time to protect public health.
