Get ready to 'spring forward.'
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."
Some people like to credit Benjamin Franklin as the inventor of daylight saving time when he wrote in a 1784 essay about saving candles and saying,"Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." But that was meant more as satire than a serious consideration. On Feb. 9 ,1942, Franklin Roosevelt instituted a year-round daylight saving time, which he called"war time." This lasted until Sept. 30, 1945.
