Here it is again folks. Time to turn the clocks ahead an hour. It is commonly referred to as spring ahead. I was doing a little research on this time change and learned some interesting facts.
First it was started in WWI, people didnt like it, it was stopped. It reared its ugly head again during WWII and its has been around since. In 1966 it became law. So, it is observed today. The main reason from what I can understand is to save energy.
Now it is not observed everywhere. Most of Arizona dont spring ahead. Apparently they didnt like it, they got free pass not to have to recognize the law. Maybe the rest of the country should do the same thing.
Do you like Daylight Saving Time?

Hi. gvannorman. I like the daylight savings time change that has the longer days. I don't like it when it gets darker so early in the day time. It makes me feel as if it is time to go to sleep earlier than usual. The new time change makes me very exhausted. I feel as if I did not get enough of sleep, the night before.
