A proposal to make daylight saving time permanent could still leave many regions with sunsets occurring after 7 p.m. during the winter months, despite efforts to extend evening daylight. While supporters argue it would reduce confusion and health risks linked to time changes, critics note that longer winter nights would persist even under a year-round schedule. The debate highlights the trade-offs between convenience and natural light exposure as policymakers consider long-term adjustments to timekeeping. The shift would not eliminate the gradual shift of sunset times, which remain tied to seasonal changes.
Permanent daylight saving time is still possible, but it wouldn't prevent the end of sunsets after 7 p.m.
