From an article in the Houston Chronicle..."The United States adopted daylight saving time during World War I and II to save energy — electric lights, not candles — and permanently in 1966. Today, there are competing studies on whether energy actually has been saved." I don't know WHY we keep adhering to this archaic tradition. It has been scientifically proven that the human body has difficulty adjusting to this time change, and I quote..."Scientists, however, are beginning to understand that jumping forward even a single hour plays havoc with our circadian rhythms, the biological clocks within our brains and cells." I am tired, my kids are tired, everyone around me is dragging today. Jackson actually cried his eyes out this morning, to the point of giving himself a headache that I ALMOST had to stay home with him for. Our "Circadian Rhythms" are DEFINITELY out of whack at the Blue House!! There is one definite PRO to all of this craziness though...it stays light out later. At least you don't feel like it is bedtime at 6:30.
