Last Sunday we switched to Daylight Savings Time, bringing back the great debate about whether to make it permanent, make Standard Time permanent, or keep switching depending on the season.
The two senators from Florida, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, are pushing the Sunshine Protection Act, which passed the Senate unanimously in 2022 (but died in the House) and would mandate Daylight Savings Time year-round (which would presumably help tourism in the Sunshine State).
The medical profession, though, says it would be healthier to have Standard Time for everyone year round, since our internal clocks respond better to more light in the morning and get confused with more light in the evening, thus throwing off our sleep cycles.
