The time change and interruption of sleep patterns can lead to a spike in migraine headaches
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced legislation, the Sunshine Protection Act, that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent across the country.
The Legislature during this year's session approved a bill (HB 1013) that calls for year-round daylight-saving time in Florida.
The Florida Republican is introducing the "Sunshine Protection Act" and the "Sunshine State Act" on Wednesday. "I am confident that the Sunshine State will lead the growing movement across the nation in adopting DST year-round", said the bill sponsor, Jeanette M. Nuñez (R-Miami), Speaker Pro Tempore of the Florida House of Representatives. That's because the provision, which has not yet been signed by Florida's governor, would shift the state into a different time zone permanently.
The Florida PTA has asked Gov. Rick Scott to veto the legislature's bill, saying the change would force thousands more children to travel to school in the dark for a longer period each year.
The second bill would let Florida remain in daylight saving time on its own.

Former ESPN President Reveals He Left After Cocaine Extortion Plot
In December of a year ago , ESPN President John Skipper abruptly resigned from his position due to " substance addiction ". There was also a Boston Globe expose released last week which detailed the "hostile work environment" women face at ESPN.
Rubio pointed to a host of benefits in making DST permanent across the nation, including a JP Morgan Chase study which found a drop in city's economies after ending DST in fall; a Brookings Institution study which found extended daylight in the evening reduces crime; and studies from the American Journal of Public Health and the Journal of Safety Research which found that there are less vehicle accidents during DST.
Nationwide daylight saving time began 100 years ago during World War I. During the long days of summer, the sun rose in some Northern regions between 4 and 5 a.m., when most non-farmers were asleep. By moving the clocks ahead an hour, backers believed the country could divert a bit of coal-fired electricity to the military instead of using it for an hour of home power.
Every U.S. state except for Arizona and Hawaii participates in daylight saving time, which began March 11 and will end November 4.
Increased physical fitness, according to the Journal of Environment Psychology, which found that Day Light Saving Time increased pedestrian activity by 62% and cyclists activity by 38% because of additional daylight. Daylight-saving time started Sunday and ends this year on November 4.
Rubio said he thinks everyone should be on Daylight Saving Time.
