Daylight Saving Time

This next weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in North America. On Saturday night, be sure to set your clock back an hour before you go to sleep, especially if you have anywhere to be on Sunday morning! Remember, it is fall back, spring forward - if you don't get an extra hour of sleep (or TV watching or partying) you did it wrong.

For information about Daylight Saving Time is, its history, and why it is observed some places and not others, check out this page at Timeanddate.com. For a fun interactive look at DST, check out this page at Web Exhibits. If you need to check that you went the right direction when you reset your clock, or if you ever want to make sure your clocks are set at the appropriate time, check out the Official US Time at time.gov and click on your time zone.

See you next week - enjoy your extra hour!
