The Debate on Health and Public Safety ReignitesWhile the upcoming weather pattern seems to be “falling back” toward winter, we still “spring forward” when daylight saving time returns this weekend. Start and End Date of Daylight Saving TimeSince 2007, daylight saving time has been observed from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November. Year-round Standard TimeIf we abolished daylight saving time and stayed on standard time all year, the total amount of daylight would not change. The start of daylight saving time feels like flipping on a light switch: it immediately brightens our evenings. Without daylight saving time, many parts of the country would see sunrise before 6 a.m. for several months of the year.
