The change would be contingent upon a compact with neighboring states and the federal government passing legislation allowing states to adopt daylight saving time as the permanent standard measure of time. Griffo and Assemblyman Santabarbara have introduced legislation that establishes daylight saving time as the year-round standard time of New York State and New York City.

The first occurrence of circadian rhythm disorder came about in the 17th century, when railroads came on the scene. “Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the bi-annual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said Alexander Ding, an AMA trustee.

Much of the world has avoided or abandoned the practice, but in the US and Europe, lawmakers have been unable to stop the clocks from changing. Nations started switching between standard time in winter and daylight saving time in summer during the First World War, as they sought to cut energy costs—an extra hour of daylight in the evening meant less time with the lights on. That’s why Steve Calandrillo, a professor at the University of Washington School of Law who has studied the economics of daylight saving time, says he’s an advocate for permanently adopting it.
