As winter loosens its grip and the promise of spring hangs in the air, another seasonal shift approaches - the transition to Daylight Saving Time (DST).
On March 10, 2024, clocks will "spring forward" one hour at 2:00 AM local time across much of the United States and various other regions around the world.
This annual adjustment not only signifies the onset of longer, sunnier days but also prompts questions and considerations about its impact on daily routines, sleep patterns, and even the weather.
Maximizing Daylight: Benefits and Considerations
The primary purpose of Daylight Saving Time is to make better use of natural daylight during the warmer months, allowing for extended daylight hours in the evening.
