'Daylight Saving Time' Ends On Nov. 2

'Daylight Saving Time' Ends On Nov. 2
Daylight saving time concludes at 2AM of November 2, Sunday. Most of the countries' clocks will be turned back an hour prior going to bed or after waking up in the morning.
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that people will wake up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. DST users typically adjust clocks one hour advance near the start of spring and then an hour back in the autumn.
Ancient civilizations adjusted daily schedules to the sun more flexibly as compared with modernized DST. Modern DST was first proposed by the New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson, whose shift-work job game him leisure to gather insects and it lead him to give significance to after-hours daylight.
Meanwhile, in 1916, Germany and its World War I ally Austria-Hungary were the first ones to utilize DST as a way to conserve coal during wartime. It also targets to gain benefit in the spring so that people will not sleep in the first few hours of the daytime. In Indiana, the change in the time is interpreted as an extra hour of liquor sales, as per Oregon Live.
Going back to standard time is a right opportunity to change batteries in your smoke and carbon dioxide detectors.
CBC News reveals that there are some areas that do not follow the daylight saving time such as the most notable Saskatechewan, in which most provinces use Central Standars Time; Creston, which uses Mountain Standard Time all year; the areas of Quebec 63 degrees west longitude, which uses Atlantic Standard Time; Southampton Island in Nunavut, which uses the Eastern Standard Time; Pick Lake and Atikokan, which observe Eastern Standard Time.
According to the Vanderbilt Sleep Disorders Center, most people need a day or two to adjust to the shift of time while some take as long as a week. Keeping your usual sleep and wake cycle to maintain your internal body clock in its usual rhythm can help compensate to the Daylight Saving Time's effect on the body.
The time changes are plotted for 2AM on Sundays, so as to reduce the interference to regular daily activities. Daylight saving time resumes on Sunday, Mar. 8.
