It’s that time of the year again…when we get to sleep for an extra hour!! Personally, I like to leave my clocks as is and attempt to go into work 1 hour earlier…this usually only works for about a week. Oh well!

Do you know why we have Daylight Saving Time every year? It accomplishes 3 things according to the Department of Transportation:

1. It saves energy. When we’re awake, we’re more likely to have our TVs, VCRs, and lights on (among other home appliances). By shifting the hours we’re likely to be awake to correspond with the daylight outside, we’re less likely to have the lights on, so we use less electricity.
2. It saves lives. When people’s waking hours correspond with daylight hours, they’re safer. Traffic accidents, for example, are less likely when it’s light out.
3. It cuts down on crime. Crime tends to happen after dark. As is the case with accidents, people are less likely to fall victim to crime when their waking hours are synched up with the sun.

As for me, I just like to be able to sleep in. ZZZZZZZZ
