Pennsylvania residents are preparing to spring forward as Daylight Saving Time (DST) approaches.
When Does DST Start?
This year, DST begins on March 10th, with clocks moving forward by one hour at 2 a.m.
Why Do We Observe DST?
The practice was originally adopted to conserve energy by extending daylight hours during warmer months.
Impact on Daily Life
The time change often disrupts sleep patterns and can affect productivity. However, many enjoy the extended evening daylight.
Debate Over DST
There is ongoing debate about whether DST should be abolished, with some states pushing for year-round standard time.
Tips for a Smooth Transition
Experts recommend gradually adjusting sleep schedules and increasing exposure to natural light to ease the transition.
