Spring into daylight saving time Sunday, March 14

Satirized by Benjamin Franklin, cursed by sleep lovers and anticipated by those who look forward to later evenings – love it or hate it – daylight saving time will spring into residents’ lives this week. Daylight saving time in California will begin at 2 a.m. Pacific Standard Time Sunday, March 14, and will end at 2 a.m. Pacific Standard Time Sunday, Nov. 7. Daylight saving time, or DST, is the practice of setting clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months, and back again in autumn, to make better use of natural daylight. With smartphones, smart houses and computers, clocks are programmed to do this chore without being prompted. “Spring forward, fall back,” is the phrase that urges people to remember which way to set their watches and clocks.
