It's Almost Time to Spring Forward

By now, most people in have noticed that daylight is beginning a little earlier each morning.

That means spring—and Daylight Saving Time—are near. This year, the big shift happens on Sunday, March 10.

On that date, most of the U.S. will "spring" clocks forward at 2 a.m., meaning you'll lose an hour of sleep. But you'll get an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day.

And when does it end? DST will last until Nov. 3.

The change affects all states except Arizona and Hawaii. 

Of course, many people would prefer that Daylight Saving Time become the norm.

A Florida legislator introduced the "Sunshine Protection Act" in the state legislature to try to make that happen. He admits it has little chance of passing, but he wants to stimulate discussion on the topic.

How do you help your internal clock adjust to Daylight Saving Time?
