Clocks fall back Sunday with an "extra hour" — but Congress remains split on time change

Americans "fall back" early Sunday — gaining an hour of sleep as Congress stays gridlocked over daylight saving time.

Why it matters: The latest push to make daylight saving time permanent collapsed earlier this week after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) blocked Sen. Rick Scott's (R-Fla.)
