As you all know, today is daylight savings. Because summers have longer days, and winters have longer nights, (because of the earth's axis) we jump the time one hour in spring (spring forward), and bring it back one hour in the fall (fall back). Benjamin Franklin started this so that people would work longer in all the seasons. This is because psychologically, people work better in daylight; so Benjamin moved these hours around to maximize the amount of daylight in work.
Anyways, have fun sleeping in... and keep on smelling!
[Daylight savings time does not take place in Hawaii (too close to the equator and gets enough sunlight) and Alaska (far from the equator and gets little difference in sunlight from DLST)]
