Daylight Saving Time 2016 Starts Sunday: How DST Affects Your Health

Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday March 13th at 2AM for users who are in a location where Daylight Saving is observed.

Contrary to popular belief, farmers are one group of people who adamantly oppose daylight savings time change, Prerau told the New York Times; the time change affects their work habits.

With iOS 9.2.1 on many devices we may see no problems with the time switch for the start of Daylight Saving Time 2016, but Apple’s track record isn’t exactly great.

Those of you in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas, go ahead and feel smug. It isn’t so farmers will have more daylight to work by.

It is that time of year again when we “spring forward” and set our clocks one hour ahead.

Older kids: They might, possibly have a slight chance of sleeping late Sunday morning to make up for that lost hour.

“There are 70 countries that practice daylight saving time, so you have millions of people suffering from sleep deprivation”, Barnes said. Your internal clock may still take some time before it could adjust to the change entirely, but Brown said that it is much easier to let it move forward gradually than forcing it to make a bigger change. But I just know my kids will get up at 7 o’clock like they always do, and then they’ll just act like jerks all day. About 64 percent of those polled by the company preferred to leave clocks on the same time all year.

Opponents of daylight saving time argue that traffic accidents, heart attacks and strokes increase when we change time, and that contrary to popular belief, it does not save electricity.

In 2007, another law was passed extending daylight saving time to where we are today.

Only 21 percent of residents in OR and Washington think pushing our clocks forward and back each year is a good idea. Since 2006, IN has been IN sync with DST, but 12 of the state’s 92 northwest and southwest counties remain IN the Central time zone, while the rest are on Eastern time.

Mornings will be darker for a while, but as the sun rises higher in the sky, daylight will return for the early birds.

Preteens and teens: Count on them hating you even more for making them get out of bed for silly things like dinner on Sunday, or school on Monday. We’ll have to keep our ears open for more!
