23rd St. Photo by Jeremy Drey 3/9/2017 Do you feel the sun starting to linger in the sky a bit longer than yesterday? What about when you compare it to a few weeks ago? Believe it or not, we're gaining roughly 2 minutes of sunlight every single day. As we inch closer to March , it also gets us closer to springing forward. Yes - our biannual time change is nearly upon us once again. It may seem hard to believe but it's already been four months since we set our clocks back, "gained an hour of sleep", and lost that extra hour of daylight in the fall. But March means the end of winter and beginnings of spring. And the easy to remember "springing forward", which means setting your clock forward. Daylight Saving Time – also referred to as "daylight savings time" – begins the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday in November.In the spring you ‘spring forward’ and in the fall you ‘fall backward’. This means that the second weekend of November, you'll move your clocks from 2 a.m. back to 1 a.m. And on the second weekend of March, we'll change it right back and move our clocks from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.For many, this is seen as a negative as we lose an extra hour of sleep. You see, when you wake up at 7 a.m., you'll actually be waking up when your body thinks its only 6 a.m. Yikes.

It may feel like an extra coffee or two can help you through the midday slump, but too much caffeine is not heart healthy. Don’t take a nap. Most people don’t get enough sleep at any time; adding a cat nap to your afternoon can make it even harder to sleep well that night.is defined as a period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the country are set one hour ahead of standard time. According to federal law, it always starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The practice of falling back in the U.S. started in 1918 during World War I as a way to conserve fuel. By moving the clocks ahead an hour, backers believed the country could divert a bit of coal-fired electricity to the military instead of using it for an hour of home power. It was reenacted in World War II. It was repealed again when the war ended, but some states — and even some cities — continued to observe daylight saving time while others kept standard time year-round. That meant driving relatively short distances could result in a time change.By 1966, airlines and other businesses tired of such quirks and pushed Congress to pass the Uniform Time Act. It codified daylight saving time, although it has been periodically modified. are the only two states in the nation that don’t follow time change. People in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas also don’t change their clocks.
