Daylight Saving Time to begin Sunday
March 11, 2016
At 2 a.m. Sunday, the world’s phones will gain an hour.
Sunday starts Daylight Saving Time, when the clocks move forward one hour in an attempt to allow citizens to better make use of daylight hours.
An original idea from Benjamin Franklin, Daylight Saving Time was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in 1918.
While people will lose an hour of sleep, there are at least two potential upsides to the beginning of Daylight Saving Time.
First, a spring forward means a fall back later in the year. On Nov. 6, everyone will gain an hour of sleep this year.
Secondly is that on Sunday, March 13, Caribou Coffee customers can stop in from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. to grab a free coffee of the day.
