Do you remember last year when the Senate passed the Daylight Protection Act? Everyone thought daylight saving time would be over, but here we are confused.
If you live in Minnesota or Wisconsin, consider this about making Daylight Saving Time permanent, eliminating the "fall back" and "spring ahead" every year.
After a long, grueling, cold, snowy, and stressful winter, we finally can see the light. Quite literally we can see the light. Daylight Saving Time is coming up.
Unless you happen to live in Arizona or Hawaii (or various other territories/countries around the world), we'll be "springing ahead" an hour early Sunday morning.
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 am on Sunday morning (November 2, 2014), which means we "fall back" and gain an extra hour of sleep as clocks roll back an hour overnight. While this "extra hour" of sleep in the fall may sound nice, there is more to the twice-a-year time shift.
Why do we have Daylight Saving Time? How does technology play a role in DST? What two states don't use Daylight Saving Time? Find out why, and at what cost to us.
And yes, it is Daylight Saving Time. Not Daylight Savings Time.
