We'll all be losing an hour today because of Daylight Savings when we move our clocks forward an hour. It's always a bonus when we get an extra hour of light, but a downer that we lose one hour of sleep. How do you feel about daylight savings, and are you going to bed earlier tonight? Read more

iPhone Daylight Savings Alarm Bug

Daylight savings in the US isn't for another week, but an iPhone bug has already affected users in Australia and Europe . . . and may start affecting users here next week. Apparently, even though the phone's main clock does automatically reset to account for the daylight savings time change, the device's alarm does not adjust correctly.

Savvy Savings Challenge: Daylight Savings Did Me In

Has Daylight Savings Changed For You Since Becoming a Mom?

Daylight Savings used to mean sleeping in an extra hour but now that I'm a parent, it just means my day gets started an hour earlier. Many moms gripe about the change while others hardly make it noticeable in their routine. When my kids woke up this morning, the clock read 7:00 instead of 8:00. I could get used to that. It also makes bedtime easier — waking up with the sunlight and tucking the Read more

Remember to Put Your Clocks Ahead For Daylight Saving Time This Sunday

Thankfully, whenever daylight saving time (DST) rolls around, my trusty cell phone and laptop automatically adjust to the new time so I'm not late for appointments, etc. But for alarm clocks, microwaves, and ovens, which aren't as intuitive and which we still use for telling time, I highly suggest setting up a reminder alert with Remindr for this Sunday so don't miss your brunch date with Read more

Did the Extra Hour of Light Motivate You to Exercise This Morning?

I have a love / hate relationship with daylight savings. These days the most difficult part is transitioning my little girls onto the new time schedule and trying to motivate to make dinner when it is pitch black outside. However, I find the early morning sun a wonderful motivation to exercise. It is much easier to climb out of bed and run when the sun is up too. What about you? I want to know Read more

White Castle Springs Forward With Free Slyders

I can't believe it's just about time to set the clocks forward.

To help cope with daylight savings time, White Castle has announced "Daylights Cravings Time." Between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m on Sunday Mar. 9, just prior to the time change, White Castle Read more
