Default We change clocks forward one hour Saturday night

We skip ahead one hour this weekend.

The L.A. Times discusses the change:

So that means we lose an hour of dreamy weekend slumber when clocks are set to jump forward an hour early
Sunday morning. And that can be problematic for many.


It is thought that we save money by using Daylight Savings Time:

Studies done in the 1970s by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that we trim the entire country’s
electricity usage by about 1% EACH DAY with Daylight Saving Time.
