Spring forward. Fall back. Spring forward. Fall back.

We Californians voted to adopt daylight savings time during the Truman

administration and we've been remembering or forgetting to reset our

clocks ever since. Now we're gonna get a chance to change that.

Well, sort of. I'm Ricardo Cano, K-12 education reporter for CALmatters and

The twice a year time change can be annoying, especially in March. Pity anyone who's

shown up an hour late to a big event or had to coax their groggy kids out of bed

for school. Changing clocks and the sleep deprivation that results doesn't

actually save energy, but research suggests it does lead to more heart

attacks, strokes and traffic accidents. Enter Prop. 7 which holds out the promise

of daylight savings time forever but it's not that simple. The measure would

give the legislature permission to end the clock switching and encourage

lawmakers to adopt year-round daylight savings, but that would require a

two-thirds vote of the legislature, the governor's signature and approval by

Congress and the president. Opponents predict a dark side to year-round

daylight savings time: it would drive up the cost of business by putting

California out of sync with 47 other states and during winter, send children off to

school in the dark. So vote yes if you want more light later in the day

year-round. Vote no if you want to keep springing

forward and falling back. Learn more about this proposition and others by
