Ready for an extra hour of sleep? Learn all about daylight saving time and when to set your clocks back!
Ah, the sweet embrace of autumn is upon us! While pumpkin spice lattes and Halloween decorations begin to make their annual debut, another favorite seasonal tradition is around the corner: the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Mark your calendars for November 3rd, the magical day when we fall back and regain that beloved hour of sleep. As daylight decreases, we bid farewell to those long, sunlit evenings and prepare ourselves for cozy nights filled with sweaters, warm drinks, and maybe even a few holiday movies!
But hold on, before you set your clocks back, did you know that not all states partake in the DST shuffle? That’s right! Hawaii and most of Arizona are proudly waving the flag of standard time year-round. For them, the twice-a-year headache of changing clocks is just a distant dream. So, as you’re falling back, just try not to giggle too hard at your friends out West who are blissfully unchanged!
Living in Northeast Ohio? Be mindful – as the chill of autumn settles in, your hours of daylight are already slipping away. Since June 20th, families in Cleveland have seen a two-minute decline in daily sunlight. It feels like the sun has just become a bit more elusive, crucifying us with long nights and shorter days. So as you enjoy that extra hour of sleep on November 3rd, don’t forget to cherish those fleeting moments when the sun actually makes an appearance!
As we embrace the changing seasons, you may ponder the science behind this time-altering tradition. Why do we fall back, you ask? Originally, the concept was implemented to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer. But does it really save energy as it was intended? Interestingly, studies have shown mixed results on the actual energy savings, leaving many scratching their heads about this age-old practice. Speaking of unusual habits, did you know that the shortest day of the year lands on the winter solstice, typically around December 21st? As we approach that day, let’s hope our clocks lead us gently into the cozy comfort of long evenings filled with warm blankets and delightful company!
