What has Trump yet said about the time to provide daytime?
On December 13, 2024, Trump to publish On its social media site, the social truth, “the Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate the time to provide the day, which contains a small but strong circle, but it should not! The time to provide the day is not comfortable and very expensive for our nation.”
But more than a month after his presidency, Trump has not yet made any steps on this issue since his social position in fact, and experts are not sure of the changes that could come.
David Bryu, author of the book ” Consulting daylight: The strange and controversial story about the time to provide daytime And an expert on this topic, he says there are three options. The first is to maintain the current system for changing hours twice a year; Currently, most of America is set forward for an hour starting in March to save daytime, and repeat the watch again starting in November to the standard time. The second option is to make the time savings in a permanent daylight, and the third is to make the normal time permanently.
“[Trump] Peru said: “Most people do not realize that there is two other options,” Peru said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment to obtain clarity on Trump’s plans for the time of daytime.
How will it seem time to provide permanent daylight?
The time of savings in daylight is aimed at allowing people to take advantage of daylight in the evening during the warmer months. Make the time of savings in daylight always means the advancement of hours for an hour for a year, so it seems that the sun rises and rises after an hour, not only in the summer, but in the winter as well, says Priraau.
Legislators have tried to do this in the past. A draft law from the two parties called the Sunshine Protection Law would make savings in daylight throughout the year, but the draft law stopped, and recently returned it by Republican Senator Rick Scott from Florida. Legislative people who expressed support for the draft law argue that changing the hour twice a year represents an uncomfortable disorder.
“I hear the Americans constantly that they are sick and are tired of changing their hours twice a year-it is an unnecessary practice and crossed contracts that are more disturbing for families than benefiting from them.” He said In a press release on January 8 on the re -submission of the sun protection law. “I am excited about the return of President Trump to the White House and his entirely to lock the watch so that we can obtain this good bill and make this logical change that will take the lives of American families and benefit from them.”
Trump has already pointed to the support of such a change, Tweet In 2019, “Make time savings in daylight always with me!”
Priraau says that the United States government has always made daylight saving before, in 1974, during the energy crisis. But the change was unpopular because the sun seemed to rise later in the morning, so many people woke up and went to work or school in the dark. It was a permanent change of time canceled Less than a year. “We have tried the time to provide the day throughout the year, and it has proven that it is very popular at the national level,” says Braro.

Although ASM supports the end of seasonal changes, it does not always support the time to provide daytime. Instead, it was the academy Call To always make the standard time, on the pretext that it corresponds to better with our daily rhythms and will be better for our health and safety.
“[If we had permanent Daylight Saving Time] “People will wake up in the dark, and they are likely to work in the dark … in exchange for the ability to wake up with the natural rhythm of sunlight,” says Koleman.
How will the permanent standard time look?
Making the normal time always means returning the hours again for an hour, so it seems that the sun rises and puts an hour not only in the winter, but in the summer as well.
Many health and sleep experts support always the normal time because they say it will be better for our health. Kuhlmann says that the switch between the time to provide daytime and the usual time disrupt our sleep and the rhythm of the biological clock, which is associated with negative health effects. It refers to studies that found the time to provide daylight to be linked to an increase in the risk of infection Car accidents And increase the risk of infection Stroke and Acceptance of the hospitalAmong the other effects. He adds that the effects of “daily imbalance” from the time of daytime saving not only for a few days after changing hours, but for eight months we use the time of savings in daylight.
In general, making the usual time always allows us to wake up throughout the year throughout the year, as Coleman says, and therefore it would be better to be parallel with our daily rhythm and ultimately more beneficial to our health.
“From the perspective of daily alignment … it is really the only option to be healthy,” says Coleman.
Priraau says that the negatives have always made the usual time that in the summer, it is likely that many people will remain asleep when it seems that the sun is rising early, and they will not benefit from broad daylight in the evening because the sun looks earlier. Instead of changing the current practice, it is suggested that officials improve correspondence, such as public service ads, to help people prepare better for seasonal changes and their expectation. “The current system is in fact a compromise between these two possibilities, and in fact, in my opinion, it is better than either of them because you get the best in both.”
