Daylight Saving Time was first implemented in the US with the Standard Time Act of 1918, a wartime measure for seven months during World War I in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. Year-round DST, or “War Time”, was implemented again during World War II.
Arizona and Hawaii have opted out of the practice.
Note: Europe last ended DST last Sunday. So as of the Sunday, the time zones between the US and Europe will come back to their normal spread.

Fall back is so much easier on my body than springing forward. Too think we just need to more one state over and poof! no more daylight savings time! Have a great week, Jen
