If you’re like me, you value your sleep. So Spring-time Daylight Savings changes are not necessarily welcomed. This is the time of year when we turn our clocks forward one hour so we can take advantage of the earlier sunrise caused by our seasonal rotation on the Earth’s axis. Now that we in the Northern Hemisphere are leaning toward the sun, we have more hours of sunlight, therefore more hours to get up!… Get out there!... Get things done!Or, if you chose to be cynical… to lose an hour of sleep… Trust me, my 11-month-old daughter has no concept of daylight savings time and won’t understand that it’s bedtime when my clock says 8:30 p.m. and HER clock says “one more hour to play!” And even though the clock will now read 6:30 a.m. when she wakes up, MY body will still know it’s only 5:30 a.m.
So who came up with this brilliant idea anyway? And why are we subjected to it year after year?
