Daylight saving time ended November 2. Standard time will last until March 9th, when we will again “spring forward” with the return of daylight saving time. One Kansas Senator thinks the U. S. Senate should take action to what he calls, “lock the clock.” Jerry Moran says, “the Senate should again prioritize and pass the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent and end this outdated practice. He says this will keep our days brighter, reduce seasonal depression, create more economic activity and eliminate disruptions between farmers and their suppliers.”
That spring time change can be tough on your body. Darker mornings and lighter evenings can knock your internal body clock out of whack, making it harder to fall asleep. “Fall back” should be easier. But it still may take a while to adjust your sleep habits, not to mention some people with seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression usually linked to the shorter days and less sunlight of fall and winter.
