Clocks go back Sunday; Senate unlikely to act on permanent daylight saving time

Daylight saving time ends Sunday for most of the U.S., and the Senate is unlikely to pass a House-passed bill making it permanent this year.

Posted Updated (2 d ago)

Daylight saving time ends early Sunday across most of the United States. Clocks go back one hour. NBC News notes the change falls on Halloween weekend. CBS News says the extra hour means more sleep for millions of people.

The Senate is unlikely to pass a bill this year that would make daylight saving time permanent, according to the AP, published by PBS NewsHour. The House has already passed the measure. The AP says several senators are holding it up. That runs counter to President Donald Trump's push for the change.

The Hill reports that the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act earlier this year. It also reports that the issue divides Republicans, Trump's own party. Without a new law, clocks will keep changing twice a year.

The Hill says supporters argue that ending the time change would give more daylight in the afternoon, when Americans are most active.

CBS News spoke with sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris about the health effects of the time change and how to adjust to it.
