It's time to spring forward! Don't forget to set those clocks forward before you go to bed this Saturday!

Don't forget your computers, either. Some may have to be adjusted.

I love Daylight Savings Time. I'm so glad it comes earlier (and ends later) this year.

Okay, so I'm a real idiot for still not knowing this, but...does that mean we're waking up earlier or later?

Editing to say I must be an even bigger one for having to take two edits to get this sentence out right...LOL!!![:I]

Spring ahead. Fall back.

I hate this time change... I like my sleep...

I do adore the change in the fall though... But I've never understood why we turn our clocks back in the fall- it gets dark early, why are we making it so that it's dark at 4:30 instead of 5:30?? And why bring morning sooner? I'm soooo glad I sleep in my basement so I don't wake up to blinding light at some ridiculous hour... (being conscious before 6 is against my personal religion...)

Think of it as you're doing something good for mother earth. The energy savings during Daylight Savings Time is really significant.

AND - you have more time after work to go outside and play with your kids or puppies, or take a long walk, or T-Tapp in the yard!;)

Oh no!!! [:0] That's what I thought. I don't get near enough sleep as it is. I would definitely be happier chucking that clock out the window right along with the scale! [}:)] Those cruel, cruel instruments!

I LOVE daylight saving time. Notice I used the word "saving" not "savings" ;) But I guess I really mean Daylight shifting time..lol. See below :D

Additional Daylight Saving Information:
http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html


In the U.S., clocks change at 2am local time. In Spring, clocks spring forward from 1:59am to 3am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59am to 1am. The changeover time was chosen to be 2am, when most people are at home and, originally, the time when the fewest trains were running. This is practical and minimizes disruption. It is late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and prevent the day from switching to yesterday (which would be confusing). It is early enough that the entire continental U.S. has switched by daybreak and the changeover occurs before most early shift workers.
Did you know the official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time?
Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be a mind expanding book or a man eating tiger. Saving is used in the same way as saving a ball game, rather than as a savings account.
Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more mellifluously off the tongue. Daylight Savings Time is also in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries.
Adding to the confusion is that the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not as politically desirable.

This is one of the things I loooove about living in AZ - we never do a time change! The only thing I have to remember is if my family in CA are on the same time as me (Spring) or one hour behind (Fall).
