How do we remember all this? The correct term is “Daylight Saving Time”, without the “s” on “saving”, because we’re supposed to be saving daylight.

Your Alarm Clock – Yep, though many modern alarm clocks automatically update the with the Daylight Saving Time change, a few of them, particularly if they are older or very basic do not.
Prior to 2007, DST was observed from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. Starting a week before the time change, Breus recommends putting kids to bed 15 minutes later than usual, every other night. “Maybe it had a goal once, but I just don’t think it does any more”. But the sun sets later in the summer anyways. Timeanddate.com reports more than 70 countries will change their clocks during the 2015 calendar year.
On Monday morning around 6 a.m., the E. Howard and Company movement will simply be stopped for an hour.
The time change means that sunset was at 4:43 p.m., and that is only going to get earlier and earlier until late December. Even thinking about this is a sure sign that I have too much time on my hands. Nevada seeks to follow the DST schedule year-round, which would enable residents of the state to avoid the inconvenience of having to switch their clocks twice a year. The entire state does not observe DST with the exception of the large Navajo Indian Reservation.
Arizona is the only state in the continental US that does not observe DST. Daylight saving time is now used in over 70 countries worldwide, although the beginning and end dates vary from country to country. “When you celebrate the time change and the extra hour, you overshoot, and irregularity adds to the problem”.
So who is in and who is out?
“Today we have eight months of daylight saving and only four months of standard time”.
UBC professor and former director of the Human Neuropsychology and Perception Laboratory Stanley Coren has written a book about Daylight Light Saving time called Sleep Thieves.
Regardless of these debates, DST will return on Sunday November 1st, at 2 a.m. local time on March 13, 2016, as it is one of the strangest ideas that have an impact in the U.S.
Australia can’t really decide.
