“Understanding the Timing and Purpose of Daylight Saving Time”

The transition to daylight saving time will occur this Sunday when clocks will move forward by one hour. This change signifies the approach of the warmer months and longer daylight hours that typically accompany spring and summer.

Daylight saving time, which began in the early 20th century, is intended to make better use of daylight during the longer days of spring and summer. The shift is often welcomed by many as it allows for extended evening activities and can positively impact mental health and well-being.

As a reminder, individuals are encouraged to adjust their clocks before bedtime on Saturday night to ensure they are on time for Sunday. This year, daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 5, 2023, when clocks will fall back one hour, marking the return to standard time.
