Spring Forward This Sunday At 2 AM

The switch to Daylight Saving Time gives us more sunlight later in the day and means spring is nearly here – March 20 to be exact.

Whether we “spring forward” or “fall back” the changing of time is as old as, well, time.

Among the states that don’t now participate in daylight saving are Arizona and Hawaii, as well as several us territories. He asserted the importance of waking up at your regular time on Sunday morning and recommended that you avoid napping during the day so that when bedtime rolls around you’ll have an easier time falling asleep.

One more tidbit about moving your clocks ahead Sunday at 2:00 a.m. Congratulations, you remembered to set your clocks ahead before you want to sleep Saturday night. The rest of Mexico will start the observation of daylight saving time until Sunday, March 26. I know, setting our clocks forward sounds absolutely very bad.

The name is Daylight Saving Time – not Daylight Saving’s Time or Daylight Savings Times. However, if a state observes daylight saving time, the state must comply with federally mandated dates.

Daylight saving time (DST) is created to provide an extra hour of evening sunlight, and will stay in effect for eight months until November 5, when daylight saving time ends for the year.

Perhaps most significantly, the widely held belief – a major inspiration for Daylight Saving Time in two world wars and more or less permanently since the mid-1960s- that the time-shift saves energy is apparently off base.

It’s time to say goodbye to the snow and jackets as spring time approaches and Daylight Savings Time 2016 stars in the United States of America.

If any of you have seen National Treasure, then you definitely know the answer to this.

AND, enjoy the extra hour of daylight during the warmer weather. And don’t forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors too! But residents here – especially those with family or business interests in other parts of the country – must still keep a close watch on the time change.
