Day Light Savings

Day light savings is ending this Sunday. We all have to push back the clocks one hour behind. We never know the exact reason it had started, but let’s enjoy the extra hour we get to sleep this Sunday. 🙂


Rationale

Around seventy countries worldwide practice day light savings except for the ones around the equator. Day light savings was started to initially encourage longer days during spring and summer. This helps in enjoying leisure time for workers and children. Outdoor activities and sports boost up when the weather is good outside. In addition, it discourages using electric lights during the evenings.

During fall and winters, there is no sunlight in the mornings and gets darker early in the evenings. Then, the daylight savings is not required. So, we all turn back the clocks to normal timings.

Confusion

Sometimes, these adjustments create confusion in arranging meetings and managing schedules for working professionals. Sleep disorders are common and leads to confusion of course.

Turn back all your clocks to one hour this Sunday. Some smart electronic gadgets have the feature in built. So we don’t have to bother about them. But, the more rooms you got, the more clocks you got. Pull out the ladders for the high reaching clocks and turn them back.

Wait until Sunday to adjust the time on the clocks, or else you may loose the track. People like me think that we have get up at 2 am in the morning to turn back the clocks. 🙂
