Daylight savings time ends!

Turn your clocks back one hour   

Daylight savings time begins in March and ends in November. The concept was initially
suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, but was mainly credited to William Willett in
1905. The theory of daylight savings time, moving the clocks forward in the spring and
back in the fall, is to get more light out of the day.  By advancing the clock, the sun seems
to rise one hour later in the morning when people are usually asleep anyway, and sets
one hour later in the evening, seemingly stretching the day longer. Daylight savings time is
also considered a means to save energy due to less artificial light needed during the
evening hours.

The clock moves ahead in the spring at the start of daylight savings and moves back at
the end in the fall. To make it easier to remember which way the clocks move, keep in
mind this saying:

“Spring forward, Fall back”
