If you're feeling extra sluggish this morning, you're not alone.
Daylight saving time went into effect over the weekend, with the clock springing forward on Sunday March 10 at 2 a.m. local time giving Americans more daylight in the evening but taking away an hour of their sleep. Daylight saving time always occurs on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November.
The clock springing forward in March means that Americans lose one hour of sleep, effecting sleep schedules and moods. In recent years, many arguments have been made against the practice, with demands for daylight savings to be canceled altogether. Despite this, daylight saving time continues.
For those wanting that hour of sleep back, mark your calendars. Daylight saving time ends on Nov. 3rd when we "fall back".
