Daylight Savings Time 2010 and Time Change

Stacey Doyle
Daylight Savings Time 2010 and the time change can't happen soon enough for me! I'm ready for Daylight Saving Time 2010 and the time change to longer days and shorter nights. Daylight Savings Time 2010 will happen on Sunday, March 14 at 2 AM.

The time change means we lose an hour. The guideline is to "spring forward and fall behind" when it comes to time change. Daylight Savings Time 2010 means spring has sprung. Because we lose an hour, the sun shines longer. Daylight Saving Time 2010 gives us more time to soak up that essential, energizing Vitamin D.

Daylight Savings Time 2010 is not observed in Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. They will not experience the time change with the rest of the country.

According to Wikipedia, modern daylight savings time was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson, an entomologist from New Zealand. Since that time, many countries have used daylight savings time change schedules.

Daylight savings time remains controversial. More daylight is a benefit to industries such as retail and sports. However, other industries such as evening entertainment and farming may suffer. Daylight Savings Time 2010 seems to have advantages when it come to health and crime benefits. Many argue whether the time change really reduces the use of electricity and lighting.

Either way, this is our last weekend of winter hours from the time change in November. Next weekend we'll be losing an hour and gaining lots of sun thanks to Daylight Savings Time 2010.
