DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS SUNDAY NOV. 3
Having too much fun?
Daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 3, excluding Hawaii and Arizona.
But who is to blame?
Despite common misconception, Benjamin Franklin was not the one who first proposed DST. 18th-century Europe didn’t even keep precise schedules.
It was actually a New Zealand entomologist by the name of George Hudson who first proposed modern DST, so it would give him more time to collect insects.
A second man, William Willett, a builder and outdoorsman, independently thought of DST in 1907 after he noticed how many Londoners preferred to sleep through the summer day. Willett was also a big golfer who didn’t care for cutting his round short at sunset.
