The Senate would also have to pass the daylight saving time bill before it could be signed into law, but it’s unclear if it will do so.

The House passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent. Proponents, including the White House, argued the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. The vote was 308-117.

    I also wouldn’t mind allowing states to choose to be on permanent daylight time if they were so inclined, bu I want the default to be standard for a whole host of health reasons.

      Now I’m curious about what multiple health reasons depend on sunrise being an hour earlier or later.

        It has to do with lining up with circadian rhythms better, and getting the health benefits that come from better sleep.
