Fall Back is Coming: Daylight Saving Time Ends Soon!

Ugh, the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and that can only mean one thing: Daylight Saving Time is coming to an end! Say goodbye to those extra hours of sunshine after work, because it's time to "fall back."

This year, we'll be turning our clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 5th, 2023, at 2:00 AM local time. This means we get to sleep in a little, but it also means that we lose an hour of daylight in the afternoon.

So why do we even do this whole Daylight Saving Time thing? Well, the idea was to save energy by shifting the clock to match the sun's hours. The theory was that people would use less electricity during daylight hours, which would result in lower energy costs. However, the actual energy savings have been debated, and some studies suggest that the impact is pretty small.

But, there are some potential downsides to Daylight Saving Time! Many people find that it messes with their sleep schedules, leading to fatigue and decreased productivity. It can also impact the timing of sunrise and sunset, which can be a challenge for people who work outdoors or rely on daylight for certain activities.

What can we do about it? Well, there's a growing movement to abolish Daylight Saving Time altogether. Some argue that it's outdated and unnecessary, and that it's time to stick with Standard Time year-round.

But for now, we'll be falling back on November 5th. Make sure to adjust your clocks before you go to bed on Saturday night, and get ready for those dark mornings! And hey, at least we can look forward to those cozy evenings by the fireplace.
