On Sunday, most of the U.S. and Canada resumed daylight time, moving ahead one hour. They will resume standard time in November.U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said after input from airlines and broadcasters that supporters agreed that the change wouldn’t take place until then. About 30 U.S. states since 2015 have introduced legislation to end the twice-yearly changing of clocks, with some states proposing to do it only if neighbouring states do the same. The U.S. House Energy and Commerce committee held a hearing on the issue this month. Rep. Frank Pallone, the committee’s chairman, said that “the loss of that one hour of sleep seems to impact us for days afterwards. It also can cause havoc on the sleeping patterns of our kids and our pets.
Supporters say the change could prevent a slight uptick in car crashes that typically occurs around the time changes and point to studies showing a small increase in the rate of heart attacks and strokes soon after the time change.Article content
