The dark days of winter are almost behind us - at least when it comes to the time on the clock.
Daylight saving time, the day when we move clocks ahead 1 hour, is set for Sunday, March 14 at 2 a.m. For most people, that means it will be time to “spring forward” on the clock 1 hour before going to bed on Saturday, March 13.
The change means where will be more daylight in the afternoon hours.
The origins of daylight saving time, or DST, dates back to 1784 when Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to a Paris newspaper proposing a tax on those whose windows were closed after sunrise. .The letter was meant to be satirical but the idea of moving the clock to lessen the dependence on energy sources – in Franklin’s case candles – began.
DST was officially instituted during World War I when Germany put the plan in place in an effort to conserve fuel. Europe came on board soon after, followed by the U.S. in 1918. The practice was abandoned after the way but started again in 1942 by President Franklin Roosevelt in an effort to conserve resources during World War II. The practice wasn’t made permanent in the U.S. until 1973, when President Richard Nixon signed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act.
In 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act, establishing the current schedule. Clocks are set ahead one hour on the second Sunday in March and back again the first Sunday in November.
This year, daylight saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 7. It will start again on Sunday, March 13 in 2022.
