On Sunday, clocks across the U.S. jumped ahead one hour as part of the annual “spring forward” for daylight saving time, but was that the last time change for many states?
The research overall is mixed, however, and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine supports the opposite switch to permanent standard time, as research shows that bodies function best with more sunlight in the morning.
"Some parts of Montana, North Dakota and Michigan would not see sunrise until after 9:30 a.m. during the winter months," the American Academy of Sleep Medicine said, if the country adopted permanent daylight saving time. Under provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which amended the Uniform Time Act of 1966, daylight saving time begins every year on the second Sunday in March. That time change will remain in effect until the first Sunday in November, when clocks turn back one hour.
In the United States, daylight saving time lasts for a total of 34 weeks, running from early-to-mid March to the beginning of November in states that observe it. On Feb. 9 ,1942, Franklin Roosevelt instituted a year-round daylight saving time, which he called"war time." This lasted until Sept. 30, 1945.
