It’s about to become nighttime a whole lot earlier as Daylight Saving Time ends and numerous Americans and people across the world will get an “extra” hour of sleep as their clocks change from 2 a.m. back to 1 a.m. on Sunday. For the world of Real Estate that means an extra hour of homes sales and home appreciation, but how did we get to the whole “Spring Forward” and “Fall Back” idea anyway?
The clock will change back to Standard Time which the United States will follow until March 2018 when Daylight Saving Time will kick in again.
When you change your clocks or “fall back” an hour Sunday, Nov. 5, in the U.S., you will be following Standard Time once again which this nation has been following every year starting from the first Sunday in November until the second Sunday in March. The majority of the year, or the rest of the year, their clocks follow the Daylight Saving Time program.
This switch pushes sunrise and sunset also back an hour, meaning there will apparently be more light in the morning with darkness coming sooner in the afternoon.
Most of your computers and cell phones now have mechanisms to change their clocks automatically. However, you would be still required to check and fix your microwave, watch, and your car. This twice-a-year change is also a good opportunity to check the batteries in your smoke detector.
People also seem to be excited about the change in time as it would result in an extra hour of sleep. According to several Twitter users, sleeping in for that extra hour is a luxury many are already looking forward to and have made plans about it.
Daylight Saving Time has been practiced on and off for decades in the United States since 1918. This practice ensures long days in summer and short ones in the fall and winter months.
