Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward 1 hour from standard time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

Daylight Savings 2017 in California began at 2:00 am on Sunday, March 12.

Every year it affects many people in different ways,

Some being:

• Loss of sleep
• Showing up late to an event
• Feeling like its early but it’s late
• Tiredness

“Ever since the time changed I’ve noticed myself more tired after school and wanting to take naps as soon as I get home, the longest I took a nap this week was 2 hours so yeah, time change has affected my sleeping schedule” – Aryana Rivera
