Americans will turn their clocks back one hour on Nov. 1 for the annual fall back time change.
Sleep experts are pushing Congress to make standard time permanent instead of continuing seasonal clock changes.
For now, consumers can make the transition easier by prioritizing sleep, morning sunlight, and a consistent schedule.
The annual fall back time change is almost here. On Sunday, Nov. 1, Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, beginning another stretch of standard time.
But sleep experts say they would like this to be the last time Americans have to make the switch.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Coalition for Permanent Standard Time are urging lawmakers to eliminate seasonal clock changes and keep the country on standard time year-round. Their position is that permanent standard time better matches the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and could support sleep, safety, and overall well-being.
Changing the clocks can have consequences for sleep, health, and safety, yet we require millions of Americans to do it twice a year, said Dr. Karin Johnson, sleep medicine physician and co-chair of the coalitions steering committee. This should be the last time we ever have to change our clocks. Lawmakers have an opportunity to end this cycle for good by choosing permanent standard time for brighter mornings, better sleep, and safer streets.
Why sleep experts favor standard time
There are currently two different approaches being considered in Congress. The Sunshine Protection Act, H.R. 139, would make daylight saving time permanent. The Sunshine for Our Kids Act, H.R. 9638, would establish permanent standard time nationwide.
The sleep experts support the latter option because sunlight plays an important role in regulating the body's internal clock. Brighter mornings can help people wake up, stay alert, and maintain healthier sleep patterns.
Permanent daylight saving time, on the other hand, would mean darker winter mornings. According to the experts, losing that morning light could interfere with sleep, mood, and daytime functioning. The group also points to the country's previous experience with year-round daylight saving time, which was reversed after concerns about dark mornings and public safety.
What consumers can do this fall
Whatever lawmakers ultimately decide, consumers still have to deal with the Nov.

Job scammers are increasingly targeting specific groups: This includes veterans, parents and caregivers returning to work, and cybersecurity professionals.
Watch for red flags: Things like unsolicited job offers, personal email addresses, requests for sensitive information, and demands for money during the hiring process.
Know what to do if you suspect a scam: Job seekers should stop communicating, preserve evidence, protect their finances, and report the incident to the appropriate agencies and websites.
Job hunting can be stressful enough without having to wonder whether the job posting in front of you is even real. But scammers are increasingly taking advantage of people who may be especially eager to find work, tailoring fake job opportunities to specific groups and their circumstances.
Veterans leaving the military, parents and caregivers returning to the workforce, and even cybersecurity professionals are among those being targeted. With cyber-enabled crime continuing to rise, cybersecurity experts say job seekers should be especially careful about who they trust during the hiring process.
ConsumerAffairs spoke with Serena Sullivan, Cybersecurity Professor at National University, to learn more about how these groups are being targeted and what they can do to protect themselves.
How scammers are targeting job seekers
Sullivan explained that these can be presented in many different forms, and oftentimes, the job ads are written to appeal to certain types of candidates, taking advantage of generalizations about certain types of candidates.
A candidate may encounter fake job postings on all the job-seeking platforms, Sullivan said. No job-related website is immune from these types of postings. Attackers who are trying to scam people through job ads are typically going to use language and job descriptions that will appeal to different types of workers.
For example, a veteran with a clearance would likely be searching for a contracting position that requires clearance, whereas returning parents might be looking for a position that allows them to work around their childs school schedule.
Know the red flags to look for
Sullivan shared some of the top red flags that all job seekers should be aware of:
A company reaching out through an unsolicited phone call, text message or email with a too-good-to-refuse offer.
