March is a month of transition. The cold of winter starts to fade, flowers begin to bloom, and the days slowly grow longer. One of the biggest shifts that happens during this time is daylight saving time… when we move our clocks forward just by one hour. This change is meant to give us more daylight but it can take some time to get used to.

Do We Really Need Daylight Saving Time?

The idea behind daylight’s saving time is to make better use of the day! By shifting an hour of sunlight from the morning to the evening, people can now enjoy longer, brighter afternoons. However, losing an hour of sleep can throw off our routine. Though, it is said by some studies that the change in daylight hours can tend to make people more tired and less focused for a few days after the switch. Some people enjoy having more sunlight in the evening, but others think it isn’t necessary anymore. Many places have debated getting rid of it because of how it affects sleep and schedules. Some agree that keeping standard time is better for our daily routines, and our bodies.

New Beginnings

Even though adjusting to the time change can be annoying, it also reminds us that spring is here. The longer days bring more time to go outside, enjoy fresh air and shake off the winter blues. It’s a small change, but it signals that warmer, brighter days are ahead!

Making the Most of It

Getting used to the new time might take a few days, but simple things like going to bed earlier and getting outside in the sunlight can help a lot with our bodies and mind, and can even make our days better! And whether or not daylight saving time stays or goes, it’s a reminder that time keeps moving forward, and so do we.
