Daylight Saving Time

Many of you lost an hour of sleep last night, but do you really know why? This article in about.com explains it perfectly. "The change allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours. Daylight Savings Time was instituted in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage
of the later hours between April and October."
