<p>Donald Trump promised on Friday to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-vows-to-eliminate-daylight-saving-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">end Daylight Saving Time</a>, a move that has already sparked fierce debate on social media between people who prefer more daylight in the morning and those who want some extra sunshine later in the evening.</p>
<p>Trump wrote on Truth Social that Daylight Saving Time (DST) is &#8220;inconvenient&#8221; and &#8220;very costly to our Nation,&#8221; vowing that the GOP would &#8220;use its best efforts to eliminate&#8221; the time that we recognize for eight months out of the year. Ending the time change is one of the most popular positions among the American people, but how we put an end to the time change matters.</p>
<p>You have to pick which time we&#8217;re going to recognize year-round.</p>
<p>Many people, including our president-elect apparently, aren&#8217;t fans of DST. Sleep experts, doctors, and those who love to be awake early in the morning say that Standard Time is the way to go year-round.</p>
<p>According to health experts, Standard Time is more aligned with our Circadian rhythm and helps our sleep cycle. “Having more of that light exposure at those earlier times is essentially better for our body’s rhythms than, you know, the opposite with daylight savings and having the evening light exposure,” said Dr. Alaina Tiani, who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine at the Cleveland Clinic’s Sleep Disorder Center, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4939267-why-experts-say-keeping-standard-time-is-undeniably-better-for-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>.</p>
<p>But there are some downsides to completely ditching DST and only recognizing Standard Time.</p>
<p>If Trump&#8217;s promise comes to fruition and the sleep experts and morning people get their way, you can kiss goodbye to daylight reaching as far into the evening hours during the summer and get used to complete darkness during rush hour in the late fall and winter. Or, as this X user <a href="https://x.com/ChaserJake94/status/1867667068939858020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it</a>, &#8220;For the love of God people, if you want later sunsets or more sun during the evening, you want to KEEP Daylight Saving Time and end Standard Time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The extended period of sunlight in the evening provides precious time for the American worker to get some things done around the house or enjoy time with family in the great outdoors after clocking out.</p>
<p>Others, including the golfers worried about losing daylight during their evening rounds in the summer, chimed in on X, voicing their support for making DST permanent.</p>

<p>&#8220;NO! Make daylight savings permanent! Eliminate standard time! We don’t want to lose an hour of golf time in the summer!&#8221; one person <a href="https://x.com/FroggyEconomics/status/1867680175925997964" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Set it forward and leave it. Stop the 4:45 darkness!&#8221; another person <a href="https://x.com/AdinAdair1958/status/1867663947954106673" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a>.</p>
<p>The Senate was on board with keeping DST permanent, passing Marco Rubio&#8217;s Sunshine Protection Act in 2022, but the bill mysteriously vanished from the conversation after the House got ahold of it. America came so close to ending the time change and permanently keeping the evening hours filled with more sun, but now we seem to be going down a darker path.</p>
