Ridgewood NJ, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice of setting the clocks forward by one hour during the warmer months of the year, typically from spring to autumn, in order to make better use of daylight in the evening. This adjustment effectively shifts an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening, providing longer daylight hours during the time when people are typically awake and active.
The concept of DST was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 as a way to save energy by maximizing daylight hours. However, it wasn’t widely adopted until the 20th century. During World War I, several countries, including the United States, implemented DST as a way to conserve fuel and resources during the war effort. The practice was later abandoned after the war but reintroduced during World War II for similar reasons.
In the modern era, many countries around the world observe DST, although the start and end dates may vary depending on the region. Typically, DST begins in the spring when clocks are set forward by one hour, usually on the second Sunday in March in the United States, and ends in the fall when clocks are set back by one hour, usually on the first Sunday in November. This adjustment effectively returns the clocks to standard time.
The rationale behind DST is to make better use of natural daylight, reduce energy consumption, and promote outdoor activities during the longer evenings. However, DST remains a subject of debate, with critics arguing that the practice disrupts sleep patterns, negatively affects health and productivity, and has minimal impact on energy savings.
Overall, DST is a seasonal adjustment aimed at maximizing daylight hours and aligning human activities with the natural rhythm of the sun. Its implementation and effectiveness vary depending on geographical location, cultural factors, and societal preferences.

Why has the House not taken up Rubio’s bill that would end moving the clocks.
They couldn’t agree on whether to stay in daylight savings time or not.
Or are they terrified that their antics might be exposed to daylight?
What a bunch of babies.
Just move the clocks 2x a year (most are automatic anyway)
This generation is so Lazy.
Why did you capitalize the L in ‘Lazy’?
That’s Stupid!
Are you blind?
the “z” is lower case.
