Daylight Savings Time

We're all looking for signs that spring is on its way to the SouthCoast. There are some telltale things that suggest that spring is about to be sprung.

Time won't fly this weekend. In fact, it'll actually hitch a ride back. Daylight saving time is ending and it's back to standard time for most people in the United States. The annual fall ritual means turning back your clocks by one hour, and relishing 60 minutes of extra sleep this weekend...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets all screwed up when Daylight Savings Time comes around. I'm glad to see the sun rising when I drive to work at 5:30 am, but I'm sad to see total darkness by 5:30 pm. Not only that, but I'm super tired most of the day...

It's time to fall back. Most people in the United States can enjoy an extra hour of sleep this weekend, thanks to the annual shift back to standard time. The change officially occurs at 2 a.m. local time Sunday. Most people usually set their clocks back before heading to bed Saturday night ...

As we remember to turn the clock forward this weekend, you'll be interested to note that aside from bringing an extra hour of daylight, Daylight Savings Time also brings increased fatigued driving that's a major factor in crashes.

Most of us are going to lose an hour of sleep this weekend. Daylight Saving Time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday, but research shows some people lose more than just that rest.

Every year we go through this, we move the clocks back in the fall and forward in the spring, we gain an hour and lose an hour.  Do we really need to do this?  I don't see why we do anymore.
