BE ALERT: Texas Says Farewell To Daylight Saving PERMANENTLY

As far back as I can remember and likely even before Texans have diligently adjusted their clocks and watches twice a year for daylight saving time. This practice involves moving the clocks forward by one hour during the summer months to create more daylight in the evenings.

TEXAS SAYS FARWELL FOR GOOD TO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ARE YOU READY?

Typically, clocks are set ahead in the spring and turned back in the fall, which initially gives Texans extra daylight during their waking hours in the summer. As a child, I thought daylight saving was somewhat frivolous, but I could see why people continued with the routine if they believed it was necessary. Recently, Daily Galaxy reported that many believe Texans should bid farewell to daylight saving time, as the practice has come under fire from health experts, lawmakers, and even billionaire Elon Musk.

EXPERTS SAY DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME MAY BE ENDING DUE TO SERIOUS HEALTH RISK

Some states have already taken steps to eliminate this biannual clock adjustment. If Texas also moves to abolish daylight saving time, it would result in longer, brighter evenings, but the decision still hangs in the balance with Congress. Sleep expert Dr. Adam Spira points out that this clock change can disrupt the body's internal clock, potentially leading to negative outcomes such as sleep disturbances, health risks, and safety issues. Texans might wonder if saying goodbye to daylight saving time would ultimately be a positive change.
