Daylight Saving Time is here! Yesterday, we turned our clocks ahead one hour. Why would anyone want to get rid of that extra hour of sleep?

• It saves energy – We use less electricity at night because we still have daylight to light our homes.
• It saves lives and prevents traffic accidents - You can travel home from work and school in daylight.
• Long summer nights – Most people like it because they have more light in the evenings to have fun outdoors.

We found this cool web exhibit that has more information about DST.
