Daylight Saving Time

Cate: Journal

hoho, i will get one hour extra time to stay on bed. Tomorrow clock go back one hour at 3pm because the daylight saving time. And it does mean the summer is over, and the weather is getting cold. Guess how many people will forget to turn their clock backward?

Study Time: - via wikipedia
Daylight saving time (DST), often referred to as daylight 'savings' time, is a widely used system of adjusting the official local time forward, usually one hour, from its official standard time for the duration of the spring and summer months. This is intended to provide a better match between the hours of daylight and the active hours of work and school. The "saved" daylight is spent on evening activities which get more daylight, rather than being "wasted" while people sleep past dawn.

DST is most commonly used in temperate regions, due to the considerable variation in the amount of daylight versus darkness across the seasons in those regions.
