Daylight Saving Time (DST) resumes at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2013 in Canada. It will end on Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 2 a.m. The phrase "Spring forward, Fall back" helps people remember how DST affects their clocks. "Spring Forward" affects us as individuals also.
Some people complain that DST affects their health, mood, and body clocks, and that their sleeping patterns are out of synchronization with natural photoperiods. Studies into these effects have been contradictory and confusing. Fortunately, most people adjust to the time change after a few days or within a week or so. I just like the fact that it is another sign of our coming spring.
Seems to me that this is also a good excuse for having an extra cup of coffee on Monday morning, before trundling off to work.
I hate time changes!
