Why do we have day light saving time?
Well, we can thank Benjamin Franklin for this wonderful idea. Yep, it was Benny himself who conceived of the extra hour of light, you know spring ahead. Love it! Love that extra hour of light. But what is given is quickly taken away. I hate to give up the light during the fall back season…NO MORE EXTRA LIGHT!
Except, I love the extra hour of sleep that I lost when we had to spring ahead. Hmmmm, extra light, less sleep, no more light, more sleep…can we really make up the lost sleep, they say yes we can. So I guess if I have to lose the extra light at least in return I can get more sleep.
Is that an even trade? I don’t think so.
For in my book I can always make up lost sleep, but lost light, now that is not something we can get back.
