The CK Daily – Facts About Day Light Savings Time
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone’s having a great start to the week! The change over to Daylight Savings Time is something I know many people dread (who loves losing an hour of sleep!?) but it’s something I look forward to every year! The longer days and the excitement for spring coming far outweigh feeling a little sleepy for a few days in my mind! That said, I handled it fairly well for the first 2 days but I think it has finally caught up with me this morning! Nothing a little caffeine can’t fix 😉
I can’t take credit for these, but here are a few fun facts I saw on Instagram regarding Daylight Savings! Enjoy!
- Daylight Saving Time affects night owls more than early birds.
- Benjamin Franklin first conceived of the idea of daylight savings in 1784.
- Daylight savings became a national standard in 1966.
- Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that don’t observe daylight savings time.
- Less than 40% of the world observes daylight savings time.
