Your daylight saving time survival guide

At 2 a.m., the clock jumps to 3 a.m. The sun will rise later in the morning and set later in the evening. All you’ll miss is one meager hour of sleep.
Every year, daylight saving time falls on a Sunday. This is no coincidence - daylight saving time was designed this way so that the time swap is as convenient as possible. And unless you work in the food industry, a hospital, or some other profession that demands your weekend, it’s likely you have the day off and can sleep in.
