What's One Hour?

General Facts:
Welcome spring weather with the start of Daylight Saving Time. At 2 a.m. on, Sunday, March 9, 2014,  most U.S. residents will set their clocks ahead one hour for the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. However, not all states will observe the time change. Residents of Arizona, Hawaii and U.S. territories Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will remain on their normal schedules. About 75 countries and territories have at least one location that observes Daylight Saving Time. Conversely, 164 don't observe the time change at all.
Daylight Saving Time gives way to longer days, but some won't be too delighted to lose an hour of sleep. In fact, some scientists suggest the "spring forward" time change disrupts sleep and could pose health risks, such as heart attacks.
Benjamin Franklin has been credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time, but Britain and Germany began using the concept in World War 1 to conserve energy, the Washington Post observes. The U.S. used Daylight Saving Time for a brief time during the war, but it didn't become widely accepted in the States until after the second World War. 
My Facts:
Really?!?! Somebody says "move your clock" and I do it?!?! I follow a rule that makes no sense to me. Why do some states just turn their back on this "rule" and are allowed to NOT change their clocks? It makes people cranky and out of sorts for at least a week. Is it giving up the hour of sleep? I remember the kids being young and trying to convince them that, "Yes, it really is bedtime even though it is still very light outside!" Invariably, I forget to change all the clocks in the house and have to jump out of bed on Saturday night and go around and change them so they will be "right" when we wake up (OCD). Without fail, I will forget at least one or two clocks. I will discover this at odd times throughout the first week of "spring forward". OMG, where did we get so many clocks?!?! Alarm clock, stove clock, microwave clock, coffee pot clock, pool clock, car clock, watches! Thank goodness the clocks on the cable boxes automatically change for us. I have always wanted to stay up late on that certain Saturday night and watch the time on the cable box go from 2:00am to 3:00am. Poof!! Gone!!! Just like that!! 
So, if I'm cranky this week, I have a good excuse! 
Hmmmm, maybe I DO like daylight saving time!!!
