It may still feel like the peak of summer, but fall is just around the corner, and with it comes shorter days and longer nights.
On Sunday, Nov. 3, we will once again say goodbye to daylight saving time and welcome the return to standard time.Daylight saving time began in the U.S. on March 10, and while there have been attempts in Congress to make the time change permanent, no such measure has been passed, and as a result, we will be rolling clocks back in the next few months.
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. The United States didn't adopt daylight saving time until March 19, 1918. It was unpopular and abolished after World War I. States could still exempt themselves from daylight saving time, as long as the entire state did so. In the 1970s, due to the 1973 oil embargo, Congress enacted a trial period of year-round daylight saving time from January 1974 to April 1975 in order to conserve energy.Nearly every U.S. state observes daylight saving time, with the exceptions of Arizona and Hawaii. U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, do not observe daylight saving time.
"Current evidence best supports the adoption of year-round standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology and provides distinct benefits for public health and safety," the group said in a statement. It reduces crime. During Daylight Saving Time, more people are out conducting their affairs during the daylight rather than at night, when more crime occurs.“Why not compromise in the middle, which is what we proposed here, which is a 30-minute change?” Jacobson said.
