DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

On Sunday, we’ll spring ahead one hour for daylight saving time. And while it may not seem like much, that small change can disrupt your sleep.

Get ready to spring forward.

Many electronic devices and appliances with clocks will adjust automatically, but smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms need a few moments–moments that can save lives.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida’s U.S. senators are making a new push for year-round daylight-saving time, this time tied to the coronavirus pandemic. Two years after backing a state legislative effort to put Florida on year-round daylight-saving time, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Sen. Rick Scott introduced a bill to skip the change to standard time this fall across the country. To try to move the new proposal forward, Rubio plans to use a procedure that would skip the Senate Commerce Committee and place the measure on the Senate Calendar. The idea of year-round daylight saving time has been promoted as a way to help Florida’s tourism industry, as people would be able to stay out later with the additional sunlight. Daylight saving time this year ends Nov. 1 and restarts March 14, 2021.
