Show Notes
Spring forward: Daylight saving time begins on March 8, 2026, across most of the US, stealing an hour of sleep. This practice, rooted in a 1918 law, has faced criticism and resistance, with some states opting out. Washington state approved permanent daylight saving time in 2019, but Congress must green-light it. A new bill, Senate Bill 5001, aims to lock in year-round Pacific standard time, citing health risks and economic impacts.
