Daylight Saving Time Is This Weekend
Hi All,
Did you know that Daylight Saving Time is this weekend? If you did know that, great - if not...well, at least you know about it now.
So what is Daylight Saving Time? Glad you asked. Click on this entry from Wikipedia that explains all a out Daylight Savings Time.
And just for a bit of context, click on this link from Wikipedia which talks about the History of Standard Time in the United States. There are a bunch of states in the union that don't observe traditional Daylight Saving Time hours...they are Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada and Tennessee.
One of the odd things about Daylight Saving Time are the health affects of it. Click here for an article that discusses such health aspects of the DST. The article is called 'What Changing the Clocks Back Does to Your Health' - and comes from CBS News.
Here is an article discussing the possible dangerous affects of DST - this one comes from Time Magazine and was posted on 10/31/14. The article discusses the possibility that the number of traffic deaths increases when DST changes.
Finally, you might want to click on this link from ABCNews for an article entitled, '5 Tips To Fall Back From Daylight Saving Time 2014'.
Enjoy the articles and, more importantly, enjoy the extra hour of sleep you'll get that morning.
Regards,
Stu
