WE SWITCH TO DAYLIGHT SAVING

TIME TOMORROW AS WE "SPRING

FORWARD"

ONE HOUR.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME WAS

ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED TO TAKE

BETTER ADVANTAGE OF

NATURAL DAYLIGHT AND MINIMIZE

USE OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHT IN THE

EVENING TO SAVE

ENERGY.

METEOROLOGIST NICK BANNIN

EXPLAINS HOW THIS TIME CHANGE

COULD IMPACT YOUR

SLEEP.

NICK:

WE ARE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM

MAKING THE SWITCH

TO DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME WHEN 2AM

BECOMES 3AM SUNDAY MORNING. MOST

OF YOUR CLOCKS WILL ADJUST

ONE HOUR FORWARD AUTOMATICALLY,

BUT YOU STILL MAY NEED TO ADJUST

SOME CLOCKS LIKE

MICROWAVES, OVENS AND YOUR CAR

CLOCK MANUALLY BEFORE YOU GO TO

BED TONIGHT.

THIS TIME CHANGE MEANS YOU LOSE

AN HOUR OF

SLEEP, BUT MOST OF YOU WON'T

NOTICE THIS MUCH UNTIL MONDAY

WHEN YOU'RE BACK TO WORK. TO

COUNTERACT THE LOSS OF SLEEP,

YOUR BEST BET IS TO GO TO BED

ONE HOUR EARLIER THAN YOU

USUALLY

WOULD TONIGHT TO GET YOURSELF

READY FOR THE TIME CHANGE.

YOU'LL WANT TO CHANGE THE

BATTERIES IN YOUR

SMOKE ALARM AND CARBON MONOXIDE

DETECTORS TOO.

THIS IS MORE OF A DAYLIGHT

SHIFT. IT MEANS

THE SUN WILL RISE ROUGHLY 1 HOUR

LATER ON SUNDAY MORNING, BUT

ALSO SET ROUGHLY 1 HOUR

LATER SUNDAY EVENING.

SUNRISE SUNDAY IS AT 7:13AM, BUT

SUN DOESN'T

SET UNTIL 6:49PM.
