Spring Forward, Fall Back... Or Is It the Other Way Around?
If you're anything like me, you're probably already confused. Is it spring forward, fall back, or is it the other way around? And why on Earth do we do this to ourselves anyway? I mean, honestly, who decided that messing with our internal clocks was a good idea?
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Well, in Los Angeles, the time warp happens twice a year. In the spring, we "spring forward" an hour, and in the fall, we "fall back" an hour. It's like a cosmic joke that keeps on giving.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
But why, oh why?
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
The whole point of daylight saving time is to maximize daylight hours during the summer months. In theory, it's supposed to save energy. But let's be real, most of us are probably just too busy binge-watching our favorite shows to notice any difference in energy consumption.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
