time change fall 2009

I hope you haven’t forgotten to set your clocks back by 1 hour before you went to bed. Today is the day of time change for Fall 2009.

24th October 2009 is the day when you get one extra hour of sleep each morning. Have you woken up already?

Daylight saving time (DST), also known as summer time in British English, is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. Modern DST was first proposed by George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist in 1895. Many countries have used it since then.
