It’s time to spring ahead, America. Daylight Saving Time starts tonight. Set your clock ahead an hour and lose an hour of sleep on Sunday.
Except in Arizona, where they’re on God’s Own Mountain Time all year long. Why? Perhaps the state’s many retirees can’t figure out how to change the digital time settings on their old VHS machines.
If you live elsewhere, don’t fret. you’ll get your lost hour of sleep back when standard time returns on November 4th.
More on Daylight Saving Time here. Of course, maybe it’s all a scam.
