clocks

I am a fan of Daylight Saving Time, that extra hour of daylight is such a lift emotional after a long and brutal winter. So, we spring forward an hour at 2 a.m. this Sunday, but have you ever wonder how this all started?

We go from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time this Sunday which means we set the clocks back an hour. The idea of daylight saving goes back to Ben Franklin in 1784 but the Daylight Saving Time we have now began during WWll when President Franklin Roosevelt instituted a year-round Daylight Saving Time known as ‘War Time’.
