Move clocks ahead this weekend
Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead an hour this weekend. We’ll lose an hour of sleep Saturday night so we can, “Spring Forward.”
Officially, the period starts at 2 am Sunday, March 12, so if you’re still up, turn your clocks to 3 am. Otherwise, move your clocks forward an hour before going to bed (about half of you will) Saturday night, or you can wait until you wake up Sunday morning and move your clocks forward then (the other half of you).
And as you “Spring Forward” as the saying goes, it’s also a good time to replace the batteries in smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and any clocks around the house.
Get ready for darker mornings and renewed calls to get rid of the twice-yearly, start and stop of Daylight Savings Time. The debate rages on, but nothing ever seems to change. And here’s an FYI: While most of America participates in the ritual, Arizona and Hawaii do not. Arizona permanently opted out of Daylight Savings time in 1968. Hawaii, along with US territories in the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea are so close to the equator that there isn’t a big difference in sunrise and sunsets over the course of a year, so there is no benefit to changing the time.
What Daylight Savings Time costs the U.S. in going back and forth on time changes twice per year: Several studies have been conducted on the negative financial impact of Daylight Savings Time, with cost figures ranging from $430 million a year to $1.7 billion.
