On Sunday, November 1, Clocks Turn Back!
Did you know that the purpose of daylight saving time is to sync people's lives with the sun?
The reasoning given for each of these changes was to save energy, but there are other benefits to springing forward. Fewer cars on the road on dark evenings mean fewer traffic accidents. And more daylight means more outdoor exercise for the after-work crowd.
On the other hand, expanding daylight saving time to encompass any more of the year might cause trouble. Russia shifted their clock to permanent daylight saving time in 2011. Suddenly, the sun was rising at 10 a.m. in Moscow and 11 a.m. in St. Petersburg. People aren't fond of starting their days in the pitch-black, and now there's talk of reversing the decision.
