Daytime Saving Time ends today for much of my buddies in Europe and it ends next Sunday for those of us in North American states and provinces that observe Daylight Saving Time. As someone who gets up early and lives in a northern state, I welcome the modification as Ill see the sun an hour previously. And ideally, my kids will make the most of the “additional” hour of time for sleeping next Saturday night.
