Every November, we receive that glorious extra hour when Daylight Savings Time ends. Whether it is used for an extra hour of sleep, relaxation, or work, it’s hard to find someone who would say, “An extra hour of time?! No, thank you!”
But, as we all know, while Daylight Savings Time ends, it must also begin again.
Enter: Sunday, March 12.
This upcoming Sunday marks the beginning of more daylight in the evenings, more time to enjoy outside in the warmer weather. It ushers in the new season, and makes us eager to enjoy the spring and summer nights out at concerts, fairs, bonfires, and more.
But with this day also comes the inevitable sadness (dare we say dread?) of losing an hour when we spring ahead. Sleep routines are disrupted, schedules are thrown off (babies and pets have no awareness/recognition of this change, are we right?), and all in all, the Monday following Daylight Savings Time can be ROUGH.
Or, maybe you genuinely enjoy the time change; we’d love to know how you’ve adopted this mindset.
Regardless of how you feel about Sunday, one thing is clear: we’re all losing an hour, so we’re gonna need some help as we adjust.
