ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Americans will lose an hour of sleep this Sunday as daylight saving time begins. The debate over changing the clocks is heating up again.
Every second Sunday in March, 48 states move their clocks forward one hour, which provides more evening sunlight but results in less sleep. A Gallup poll showed 48% of Americans want standard time year-round. Another survey found more than 50% of people said their sleep schedule is negatively affected by the seasonal time change.
“There’s greater increase of car accidents when this occurs, particularly fatal car accidents, more heart attacks, more strokes, and just people not being as attentive as they could be,” said Rafael Pelayo MD, Stanford University.
A Florida lawmaker recently proposed moving all U.S. time zones forward by 30 minutes permanently. Meanwhile, the Virginia Senate passed a bill to end daylight saving time, but it needs support from Maryland and D.C. to take effect.
