A lot of people are excited to know when Daylight Savings Time will occur. After all, it is already October and it heralds the coming of the most anticipated practice, and for those who appreciate an extra hour of sleep, Daylight Savings Time is indeed a blessing.
According to Global News Canada, the clocks will fall back at 2 a.m. on Nov. 6, Sunday, as the Daylight Saving Time period has already ended. This will be in effect until March 12, 2017 as the end of this phenomenon will always be the first Sunday of November and its beginning will be the second Sunday of March.
What this means is that more daylight will be given in cold, wintry mornings to make it easier for people to wake up from a nice sleep.
However, for the people living in the U.K., the Evening Standard reports that the Daylight Saving Time — also known as the British Summer Time — is set to end on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 2 a.m. Basically, by this time the U.K. will go back to its Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) because it will go back to 1 a.m., marking the end of the British Summer Time.
The effect is basically an extra hour in bed for the weekend, as well as brighter mornings while evenings become darker up until the Christmas season.
The same article reports that it is much easier to remember when to bring the clock forwards or backwards is to memorize the common saying "Spring forward, Fall back."
The Daylight Saving Time practice was used as a means of cutting the cost of energy back in the war, but recent studies conclude that it has never done anything close to that.
However, it still has its own positive effects, such as boosting business, since the daylight saving months raked in around $400 million in golf fees alone.
