Losing an hour of sleep as daylight saving time kicks in can do more than leave you tired and cranky the next day _ it also could harm your health.

Losing an hour of sleep as daylight saving time kicks in can do more than leave you tired and cranky the next day — it also could harm your health.

The man who originally introduced the bill, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, reintroduced the bill to Congress last year.

The Sunshine Protection Act only passed through the U.S. Senate, but never made it to the President's desk.

Last March, the U.S. Senate passed what is known as the Sunshine Protection Act, which would end the twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks by making one set time permanent.

If the bill passes, we would get sunsets after 6 p.m. year-round, but there will still be fewer mornings with the sun rising before 7 a.m.

The U.S. Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act Tuesday, which could eliminate the need to change your clocks twice a year.

The bill would mean big changes for our sunrise and sunset times

The Senate has unanimously approved a measure that would make daylight saving time permanent next year.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s U.S. senators are proposing to stay on Daylight Savings Time and keep us from springing forward next year due to the pandemic, according to WJXT. The two senators say they’re proposing this change to help bring stability back to American families during the pandemic, and this isn’t the first time the lawmakers have made this push. Sen. Rubio reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act in March 2019, which would have made Daylight Savings Time permanent across the country. The act was originally signed into law by then-governor Rick Scott in 2018. Congress has not yet passed legislation that would allow Florida to stay on Daylingt Savings Time.
