Daylight Savings History

“What is daylight saving you may ask,” daylight saving is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

Now that they changed to time the day lasts longer so families spend a little more time in the daylight to enjoy family time. Scientists say that a permanent switch to daylight saving time might throw people’s circadian rhythms out of whack, leading to unintended health consequences. Bright mornings help people wake up and stay alert; dark nights allow for the production of melatonin, the hormone that triggers sleep.

Today they are trying to pass a law to keep daylight savings due to the lack of sleep they get when it changes. Should we keep springing forward and falling back? What are your thoughts?
