The US House voted Tuesday to pass a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views.

It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear.

    I mean, if you’re self employed, it can already work that way. I never set up any meetings before noon, that way I wake with the sun. Sure it means that I’m starting my day at kinda random times as far as the clock is concerned, but my body likes that way better than setting an alarm to wake at the same clock time every day.

      This is what working second shift is like. Wake up whenever, go to bed whenever. It was nice. Well, that part was nice. Everything else about it sucked.

        I loved working second shift for that reason! I never had to set my alarm! And I’m a night owl anyway so going to sleep at 1:30 or 2:00 am was fine. The part that sucked was I was working while other people were off work and awake so I only saw them on weekends. But I’m also mostly a loner so that was actually fine too. :)
