What is Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time is a practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer. This is done by moving the clock ahead one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall.

The main reason for DST is to make better use of daylight. By moving the clocks ahead in the spring, we get an extra hour of daylight in the evening. This can be beneficial for activities such as outdoor recreation, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.

However, there are also some drawbacks to DST. Some people find that it can disrupt their sleep schedules, and it can also lead to increased traffic accidents and energy consumption.

When Did Daylight Saving Time Start?

Daylight Saving Time was first introduced in the US in 1918 as a way to conserve energy during World War I. It was later repealed in 1919 but was reinstated in 1942 during World War II.

After the war, DST was used intermittently until it was finally made permanent in 1966.

How Do I Adjust to Daylight Saving Time?

Here are some tips for adjusting to Daylight Saving Time:

• Go to bed and wake up a little earlier than usual in the days leading up to the time change.
• Get plenty of sunlight during the day, as this will help to regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, as these substances can interfere with sleep.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine that includes activities such as reading, taking a bath, or listening to calming music.
