| Americans have been resetting their clocks and watches (and ovens and such) forward each spring and back each fall as part of a national effort to maximize daylight hours for about 50 years, depending on where you live. Daylight saving time has long had its ardent fans and implacable critics, and we heard last week from all sides. Post columnist Helaine Olen wrote that it was time to "#locktheclock" and end the "biannual switcheroo," while Anita Shelgikar, a sleep expert at the University of Michigan, argued that doing so might harm our "cognition, mood and cardiovascular health." But the definitive word might rest with columnist Dana Milbank, who had some fun with the news that the unanimous Senate vote on March 15 making DST permanent was, as it turned out, an accident. "The Senate approved legislation making daylight saving time year-round. There were no hearings, no discussion, no debate, and no vote. It just happened, because nobody objected — in large part because many senators didn't even know it was happening." Here's hoping you find time, as it were, to learn more. Most Americans would like to end the biannual clock switcheroo. By Helaine Olen ● Read more » | | | | It's true that we must stop changing our clocks.
