Fall back, Texas! Daylight Saving Time ends soon, meaning an extra hour of sleep, earlier sunsets, and a reminder to change clocks and home safety batteries.
House Bill 1393, which would leave Texas on Daylight Saving Time ... DST is summer, in winter it's standard time ... year round, passed the Texas House of Representatives but it's not law yet.
There are both critics and advocates of the Daylight Savings schedule. None of us want to lose an extra hour of sleep, sure. But, there are definite benefits.
Daylight Saving Time has been around since 1966, and every time we lose an hour of sleep we get mad and want it to go away. It turns out, even gaining an hour of sleep is bad for us, and that's why one group is calling for an end to the clock changes.
