The other thing I cant figure out is why is it at 2 AM. I mean who gets up at 2 AM to change the clocks? If you have as many digital clocks as I do it’s a real hassle altogether and could take until at least 2:30 so the sleep we gain we actually lost changing the clocks at 2 AM.
I guess on the flip side is the summer. In the summer, daylight saving time makes the sun set an hour later, reducing electricity uses for lighting and appliances in the evening, as we can stay outside later, and bedtime comes closer to sunset. But the sun sets later in the summer anyways. Since its a Government instigated protocol to change our clocks that may possibly explain the confusion.
Currently, the United States’ Energy Policy Act of 2005 changes daylight saving time to begin on the second Sunday of March and end on the first Sunday of November.
While there are many reasons that Daylight Savings Time is followed around the country, there are some reports that changing the time can have a negative effect on the health of the body by interrupting the circadian rhythm.
Since I cycle year round and really like riding in daylight, I never could really figure out daylight savings. First it really doesn’t seem to save any daylight. If its dark now at 6 PM it will be dark next weekend already at 5 PM when we “fall back”. Yes its true that it will be light at 7 AM instead of 8 AM but where do we save? I ride in the same amount of darkness either way?
On Sunday November 6 2011 we are told to turn our clocks back one hour at 2 AM.
Most people kept forgetting if the clocks were supposed to go backwards or forwards that important day, so we invented the tidy sayings “spring ahead” and ”fall back”. As well most of us can’t even remember which day we are supposed change the clocks, as the date seems to keep changing. If most of us can’t even remember the date, and which direction to turn the clocks without a slogan, maybe we should just forget the whole thing and have a holiday that day instead.
Whether it was the US founding father Benjamin Franklin or New Zealand entomologist, George Hudson, the roots of Daylight Savings Time go back many years.
DST wasn't used until World War I to conserve energy. The U.S. observed year-round DST during World War II and implemented it during the energy crisis in the 1970's, according to the Scientific American.The actual technical term for the occasion is daylight saving time, not daylight savings time as most people refer to it. Whatever you call it, many people are trying to get prepared to shift the clock back an hour on Sunday, November 6, 2011
