Www.wjtv.com – Addy Bink – 2024-10-13 08:05:00. SUMMARY: Daylight saving time will end on November 3, allowing Americans to gain an extra hour of sleep, but it will also mean earlier sunsets. While states have shown interest in adopting permanent daylight saving time, efforts have stalled. If clocks were not changed, morning commutes would be darker, as sunrise in Chicago, for example, would shift to 8:18 a.m. Proponents argue that permanent daylight saving time could reduce crime and traffic accidents, but a past attempt in the 1970s faced backlash, leading to a return to biannual clock changes. Most Americans will reset their clocks unless Congress intervenes.
