What has Trump said so far about daylight saving time?

But for more than a month of his presidency, Trump has not taken any action on the issue with his truth social post, and it is a bit unclear what the experts can change.
David Achronao, Author Detalite seize: The odd and controversial story of daylight saving time And the subject specialist, says there are three options. The existing system is to replace clocks twice in the first year; Currently, most America forwards a one -hour clock for daylight saving time from March, and sets the clock back an hour to start in November for standard time. Another option is to make daylight saving time permanent, and the third standard time is to permanent.
“[Trump] He said in a very short sentence without detail so it is not clear what it means, “said Akerau. “Most people don’t even realize that there are two other options.”
The White House did not immediately respond to the request for comments to clarify on Trump’s daylight saving time plans.
How will a permanent daylight saving time look like?
Daylight Saving Time means that people should be allowed to use the evening light during the hot month. Making daylight saving time permanent means that one hour clocks ahead for the whole year, so the sun will appear not only in the summer, but also one hour in the winter.
In the past, legislators have tried to do this. The bilateral bill, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, would have saved the year -round light, but the bill was halted, and recently the Republican Sen of Florida. Was re -introduced by Rick Scott. Legislators who express their support for the bill argue that changing the clock twice a year is an inconvenient disruption.
“I constantly hear from Americans that they are sick and tired of changing their clocks twice a year-that is an unnecessary, decades-old practice that is more displeasure for families than their benefits,” Scott Impolite In a press release on January 8 releasing the Sunshine Protection Act. “I am excited to bring President Trump back to the White House and can be fully on the board to make the clock a Lock so we can pass this good bill and change this general wit that will facilitate and benefit the lives of American families.”
Trump has previously suggested support for such a change, Tweet In 2019, “It’s okay with me to permanently build daylight saving time!”
Achrona says that the U.S. The government made the time of daylight permanent, before the ENERGY crisis, in 1974. But the change was unpleasant because the sun later looked rising, many people were awake and in the dark work or going to school. Was a permanent time change Canceled After less than a year. “We have tried that year -round daylight saving time, and it proved to be very unpleasant at the national level.”

David, a spokesman for American Academy Sleep F Slip Medicine (AASM) and Sleep Medicine Doctor Cutter. David Kuhlman says that when AASM supports the end of seasonal changes, it does not support daylight saving time permanent. Has been a academy instead of Advocacy To make standard time permanent, to argue that it best adjusts with our circidian rhythm and will be better for our health and safety.
“[If we had permanent Daylight Saving Time] Kuhlman says that people will be aware of the darkness, and will probably work in the ART darkness… capable of moving with a more natural rhythm of the opposite sun.
How will the permanent standard look like?
Making a standard time permanent means that watches set up one hour for the whole year, so the sun will look rising and not only in the winter, but also in the summer.
Many health and sleep specialists support the standard time permanent because they say they will be better for our health. Kuhlman says that between day -saving time and standard time, the TG Guarding disrupts our sleep and circadian rhythm, which is associated with negative health effects. It draws attention to a study that finds a daylight saving time associated with increased risk. Motor -vehicle accident And an increased risk Striking And HospitalBetween other effects. It adds that the effects of “Circle Adian Dian Miscligation” from daylight saving time do not last a few days after the clocks have changed, but for eight months that we use daylight saving time.
Generally speaking, making standard time permanent will allow us to wake up from the sun, Kuhlman, and so it will be better organized with our circidian rhythm and eventually more beneficial to our health.
“From the point of view of the Circdian configuration, it is really the only choice that is healthy.”
Acherau says that the opposition to permanent standard time is that in the summer, many people still slept when the sun appears previously rising, and will not take advantage of the light in the evening, as the sun will appear earlier. Instead of changing the current practice, it suggests that officials improve messaging, such as by public service announcements, to help people prepare and expect seasonal changes. “The current system is actually a compromise between those two possibilities and it is really, in my opinion, either better than one because you are getting the best of the two,” says Acrumen.
