They don’t want to fall back on the old way of doing things.
Daylight saving time will end on Sunday morning, with 48 states setting their clocks back an hour in order to steal more sunshine in the morning.
However, the change could soon become a thing of the past, as more states push to “lock the clocks.”
10 states across the country have enacted legislation to permanently observe daylight saving time. They are Maine, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Delaware, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming.
However, they need congressional approval to begin observing that change.
According to The Hill, “states do have the ability to lock their clocks, current federal regulations limit their decision to year-round standard time only.”
Arizona and Hawaii are currently the only two states that observe year-round standard time.
California voters approved a measure to do away with daylight saving time in 2018, but it has not yet come into effect.
Americans are split on the issue, but support for scrapping daylight saving time is growing, meaning people prefer more light in the morning and less in the evening.
A Gallup poll conducted earlier this year found 54% of Americans are ready to do away with the practice.
Meanwhile, just 40% say they are in favor of observing daylight saving time — the lowest level in recorded history.
That’s a steep drop from 73% who favored daylight saving time in a 1999 poll, and lower than the 51% support the practice had in 1937.
