Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2! Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before bed Saturday night. That small change gives us an extra hour of sleep, so enjoy the bonus rest and make the most of it!

Here are some fun facts about Daylight Saving Time:

• Benjamin Franklin’s Idea: The concept dates back to 1784 when Franklin joked that Parisians could save candles by getting up earlier.
• Not Everyone Observes It: Around 70 countries use DST, but many, including most of Africa and Asia, do not.
• Sleep & Health: Gaining or losing an hour can temporarily affect your sleep, productivity, and even health—studies show a slight increase in heart attacks and car accidents right after the change.
• Energy Savings: DST was originally meant to save energy, but modern research shows the effect is minimal.
• Spring Forward, Fall Back: A handy rhyme to remember which way to adjust your clocks!
• Longest Daylight: Evenings have more sunlight during DST, which can boost your mood and encourage outdoor activity.
• Global Variation: Some countries, like Argentina, have switched DST on and off multiple times throughout history.

Take advantage of that extra hour this weekend and maybe go for a walk, enjoy some sunlight, or simply catch up on sleep! 🌟
