Americans Divided on Daylight Saving Time: Poll Reveals Preference for Permanent DST

Twice a year, people in most of America change their clocks.

In the fall, clocks go back, giving us an extra hour of sleep but making mornings brighter and evenings darker sooner.

In the spring, clocks go forward, we lose an hour of sleep, but evenings stay lighter longer.

A new poll shows that most Americans don't like changing the clocks, and if they had to pick just one time, more people would prefer to have lighter evenings all year round.

Some people, like Pranava Jayanti, find the change surprising.

Others, like Vicky Robson, prefer lighter evenings because they are not 'morning people.'

Experts also note that our bodies have internal clocks, and switching times might not be ideal for our health.

While some groups, like doctors and sleep experts, want to stick to one time, the debate continues because different people prefer different times of day to have light.
