Well, if you were a little extra tired today, you were not alone.

Millions of Americans lost an hour yesterday because of Daylight Saving time.

Now, we talked about the impact this has on our health last week.

But what about the policies behind the decision?

For that, we turn to the Council on State Governments executive director and CEO David Atkins.

A lot of states have considered this issue.

In fact, there's been nearly 500 bills since 2015 to make Daylight Savings Time permanent in state legislatures across the country.

It's clearly one of those things that catches the public's imagination.

There's a law that was enacted in 1966 by the federal government that essentially says states can opt out of daylight Savings time and make Standard Time permanent.

But they can't do the opposite.

They can't make daylight Savings Time permanent.

And although nearly 20 states have already passed resolutions or legislation to make daylight Savings Time permanent, those laws wouldn't go into effect, obviously, until Congress changed that that law from 1966.

And the difficulty is, if you live in Cincinnati, for example, Covington, you cross the bridge and Ohio is on daylight savings time.

Kentucky stays on Standard Time.

You'd have to move your clocks back and forth.

You never be on time for a meeting.

It would all give us a pretty good excuse because we could say that we were late for everything.

If you lived in Kansas City, Missouri, on the Kansas side of the state line, if they had one time compared to Missouri again, you'd have kind of a patchwork quilt.

In fact, those states that have enacted legislation to say that they would go to permanent daylight Savings time generally say that they will only become effective if the states surrounding them also go to Daylight Savings Time, which kind of begs for a national solution.

I think it is one of those things that Americans like to think about, but I doubt if it's ever going to get across the finish line any time soon.
