Springing Forward - Daylight Savings Time
Written by: MSgt. Supersceptile

It’s that time again. A time for many people in the world to set their clocks forward an hour, time for long hours of daylight, and time to, unfortunately, lose an hour of sleep.

Daylight savings was proposed around the turn of the 20th century and implemented during World War I. Only a few countries used Daylight savings at first, however, the 1970s energy crisis caused this number to spike due to need for "longer-lasting" hours during this period.

Remember to move your clock forward by an hour tonight before you sleep if you live within these regions, as the time officially changes at 2 AM Sunday, March 10th, this year.

Why do we still do this?

I dont have to do this but its still annoying because my tv show times get messed up.

Thank god Perth voted no to this a few years ago!

Witching which regions? I am pretty sure time changing dates is different in Europe and USA... so be more detailed about regions :O

I like the part were I got 3 hours of sleep because of this.

Praise the sun?

Its pretty complicated sam, different regions do/don't do it, some do it at different times, etc. Some states and counties do it differently from their regions, etc.

Daylight Saving Time starts at 31 Mar for us... so... It is still kinda far away for us.

Yeah...its so complicated

both my Emerson Smart Clock and my PC clocks changed, but my SMARTPHONE didnt, lol... figure the one out

31st here too. Noobs.

Trying to adjust to Daylight Savings Time is proving harder than I had expected. I'm suddenly late for everything.

Rofl

I dont really care.
I dont get enough sleep either way
