As temperatures get colder and days continue to shorter, the time for clocks to 'fall back' is nearly here as the end of daylight saving time approaches.
Daylight saving time is a changing of the clocks that typically begins in spring and ends in fall in what is often referred to as"spring forward" and"fall back."
Germany was the first to adopt daylight saving time on May 1, 1916, during World War I as a way to conserve fuel. The rest of Europe followed soon after. States could still exempt themselves from daylight saving time, as long as the entire state did so. In the 1970s, due to the 1973 oil embargo, Congress enacted a trial period of year-round daylight saving time from January 1974 to April 1975 in order to conserve energy.Nearly every U.S. state observes daylight saving time, with the exceptions of Arizona and Hawaii. U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, do not observe daylight saving time.
The shift can"skew or put off-center the normal systems that trigger structures within our mind, within our brain, that tell us through hormone cues and brain chemistry when it's time to be awake and when it's time to be asleep," she Such shifts can cause mood changes, fatigue, concentration issues, and more, Sexton-Radek said.
