Spring Ahead 1 hour at 2AM Sunday Morning
Daylight Saving Time

      Most western nations advance the clock ahead one-hour during the summer months.  We call this period Daylight Saving Time.  Benjamin Franklin originally suggested the idea.  He Benjamin Franklinwanted to take advantage of the additional daylight time in the summer when many people were sleeping.  The United States did not adopt Daylight Saving Time until World War I, and today Arizona, Hawaii and most of Indiana do not observe Daylight Saving Time. 

     Daylight Saving Time lasts from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October in the most of the United States, Mexico and Canada. The nations of the European Union observe Daylight Saving Time, but they call it the Summer Time Period." Europe's Summer Time Period begins a week earlier than its North American Counterpart, but ends at the same time.
