Daylight Savings Time 2013 Starts

Daylight Savings Time 2013 — Daylight saving time starts in eight hours from the time of this post which will be 2 a.m., Sunday, March 10.

So turn re turn their clocks ahead one hour before going to bed.

The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin while serving as an American delegate in Paris. Daylight saving time has been used in the U.S. and many European nations since World War I. It was officially adopted in the U.S. in 1918, and was made consistent through the adoption of the Uniform Time Act of 1966.
