Millions of people pushed their clocks forward an hour last night before heading to bed.  Saturday marked the last day of Central Standard Time and we now move right into Central Day Light Time The principle behind the practice is to experience less light in the morning, and more light during the afternoon and evening.

Not all portions of the world practice this time change.  For example, the state of Hawaii never changes the clock.  That is in part because of Hawaii’s nearness to the equator which in turn, causes the state to usually have equal (or close to equal) hours of daylight and dark.

Like Hawaii, the closer to the equator you get, the more equal are your hours of day light and dark.  For that reason places such as The Philippines do not acknowledge daylight savings time or any time zone changes. There was however two different times that The Philippines decided to use daylight savings time because they were dealing with an energy crisis. It is however interesting to note that the country of Australia actually goes from having five time zones in standard time to only having three in daylight savings time. 

It seems that everywhere you go the first week or so after the time changes you hear people complaining about it.  What are your thoughts?  Which “time” do you enjoy most? Does it take you a while to get adjusted to it one way or another? We would love to hear what you think, so feel free to log in and make a comment right here on cbs42.com!
