It is possible that the opportune moment for the idea has come around again.

The twice-yearly time change system in the United States could become a relic of the past if Congress passes legislation introducing permanent daylight saving time.

Yet even those who find the spring and fall clock adjustments bothersome cannot assume that sticking with a single time zone would garner widespread support.

The United States has made similar attempts in the past, notably in the 1970s, but their effects were short-lived.

Considerable doubt has been raised as to whether this time change can be successfully implemented.

On Tuesday, the House passed a bill by an overwhelming margin to make daylight saving time permanent, a system that involves setting clocks forward by one hour.

The current system involves advancing the clocks in spring and reverting to standard time in autumn, thereby securing more daylight during summer evenings.

However, there is little support for these semi-annual time changes.

Supporters of a single time zone include the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, for whom the circadian rhythm is a crucial factor.

Only after receiving Senate approval can the bill be signed by the president.

Although people may not welcome change itself, history demonstrates that even the limited morning sunlight in winter is regarded with disfavor.

In 1973, Congress passed a bill introducing permanent daylight saving time, which was to be trialed from January 1974 to April 1975.

However, the system remained in effect only until October before being abolished due to intense public opposition.

One of the primary concerns was that students would have to commute to school in the dark.

In modern times, there is a gradual trend toward delaying school start times.

Kevin Birth, a professor of anthropology at Queens College who studies cultural concepts of time, attended elementary school in Syracuse, New York at the time and vividly recalls that period.

"I had to get up to go to school, and it felt like midnight," he said.

"It was pitch black, and it remained pitch black until class time."

If the United States decides to make another attempt, he argued that simply changing the clocks would not suffice.

A nationwide adjustment of time zones is necessary.

The current four time zones are insufficient.

Because each time zone covers too vast an area, discrepancies arise in sunrise times between the western and eastern parts.
