Here's when and why daylight saving time started in the US via CNBCMakeIt
On Sunday March 10 at 2 a.m., most Americans will set our clocks forward one hour. That means losing an hour of sleep but seeming to gain some precious sunshine.
The concept resurfaced during WWI as a way to save energy. The idea was that people would spend more time outside and less time inside with the lights on at night and, therefore, conserve electricity. The law"to save daylight" was passed by Congress in 1918. After the war, however, state governments were left to decide whether they wanted to continue with the time change.
Still, not everyone is a fan. After all,"springing forward" and losing an hour of sleep can hurt workers' productivity. Studies have shown that even one night of not getting proper sleep can have ripple effects: It can make you feel hungrier than usual, it puts you at greater risks for accidents while driving and at work, it can decrease your focus and it can makes you susceptible to catching a cold.
