Find Time as Daylight Saving Time Ends

Posted on October 31, 2008, under Time After Time.

SunAs I write this morning, it is hard to believe that another month is drawing to a close!  Not only is October ending, but in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Daylight Saving Time comes to an end, too.

This interesting piece from The California Energy Commission gives a history of the concept, as well as some tips for making the most of it.  And there’s an entire site dedicated to Daylight Saving Time here!

Did you know, for example, that Benjamin Franklin, at age 78, was the first person known to have proposed the concept of daylight saving – way back in 1784?  Here you can read his modest (tongue in cheek) proposal.  It wasn’t until 1966 that The Uniform Time Act was passed and Daylight Saving Time was firmly, officially established.

How do you feel about Daylight Saving Time?  How about falling back, as we will on Sunday?  If you’re like me, as our days shorten, you miss the daylight at the end of the day.  Others love the additional light at the start of the day!

Either way, Sunday marks a change in our daily rhythms, and will require a period of adjustment.  Pay attention to your energy, and plan in some extra time, as your body and mind get used to your changed time terrain!

I’d love to hear how the transition goes for you!  Click where it says “Please Leave a Comment” below. Drop me a line!
