Nineteen states have passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent. But those laws won’t take effect until Congress makes it legal. And the medical community sees one major problem.

    Why couldn’t you say what the medical communities issue is in the post rather than leaving some cliff hanger and making me click into the article?

    Medical communities “issue”:

    But the medical community has taken issue with how the bill proposes to make the change — specifically, that it mandates all states adopt permanent daylight saving time rather than sticking to standard time

    Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is actually better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

      But isn’t morning figurative? You can always get up earlier. You can’t get up later if you work.

        People generally sleep to around the schedule of work and school. If you change the clocks these change. Most people don’t really have control.of when they wake up.

      • The complaint was about the body of the post not the title. The last sentence in the body says that the medical community has a problem with the legislation but doesn’t summarize what the problem is.
