Spring forward: Daylight saving time starts this weekend

California Assemblyman Kansen Chu (D-AD25) has introduced Assembly Bill 807 this year to get rid of Daylight Savings Time.

Daylight Saving Time 2017 begins at 2 a.m. this Sunday, March 12, shifting time forward an hour until November 5. Do not forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to sleep on Saturday night (or Sunday morning). Hawaii and most of Arizona don’t take part in Daylight Saving Time.

Groups that tend to support Daylight Savings Time are urban workers, retail businesses, outdoor sports enthusiasts and businesses, tourism operators, and others who benefit from increased light during the evening in summer.

But, Daylight Saving Time doesn’t have to be so unsafe.

Regardless of the possible changes, daylight saving time is happening this weekend, and we’ll get an extra hour of sunlight while anxiously awaiting the start of spring. The extension means Daylight Saving Time exists for eight months, while standard time is 4-months long.

It has felt like spring across the metro Denver area and along the Front Range for most of the winter.

It’s that time of year again, when most Canadians move our clocks ahead one hour to mark the start of Daylight Saving Time.

Usually it takes me at least a week to feel fully acclimated to having “sprung forward” or “fallen back” – time-wise, that is – as the clocks are changed each spring and fall. You’re losing an hour of sleep.

Breus, who has written several books on getting a good night’s sleep, says the most common obstacle to sleeping well is stress. It stated that DST would begin on the last Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October.

Sleep deprivation can delay reaction time, sometimes preventing a person from making good decisions, so the number of vehicle accidents also increases.

This practice is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. We may lose some sleep, but use the time – an hour less, it may be – to keep you and your family safe.

Some say the change comes with health risks as changing the clocks by one hour may be connected to a higher rate of ischemic strokes.the most common type of stroke. according to researchers.
