The event occurs once in March roughly around the spring equinox and once again around early November — hence the expression “fall back and spring forward,” which refers to setting our clocks forward an hour in spring and backward an hour in fall. So you might look forward to the extra hour of sleep you get in the autumn but really feel tired come March after daylight saving costs you an hour of sleep.
This deprivation may even leave you feeling like daylight saving is a personal attack on your sleep cycle that we could do without. But rest easy – you could move to Saskatchewan, which technically observes DST all year round and doesn’t switch back and forth in spring and summer. So why exactly do we go through the trouble of daylight saving? And who does it benefit?
