Welcome to CC: DOCC fall back tonight
*"The times they are a-changing." -Bob Dylan ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time meanwhile flies, never to return" -Virgil
***"Lost time is never found again" -Benjamin Franklin
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨Back to Standard Time on 11/5/11¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨
We gain an hour of sleep this weekend!! Dayllight savings comes to an end at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. With the clocks turned back, it will be less dark in the morning but darkness will fall earlier in the evening. Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico stay on standard time all year round.
The concept of daylight-saving time may have first been proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 to the Parisians. The thought was that Americans would appreciate an extra hour of sunlight and conserve energy (candles and oil back then).
Transitions may disrupt chronobiologic rhythms and influence the duration and quality of sleep as the effect lasts for several days after the shift. People who suffer with sleep disorders seem to find the bi-annual transitions more difficult. The extra hour of sleep means a lost hour of afternoon sun, which increases reliance on electricity and decreases the potential for, vitamin D-giving outdoor activities. Nearly half of the world’s population has lower than optimal levels of vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin.

¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time is valuable, and when it is gone, it is gone. Time is wealth, and unlike money, when it is gone, you cannot replace it." -Napoleon Hill
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Poor people spend time to save money; Rich people spend money to save time.
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later." -Winston Churchill
