On April 2, we switch to Daylight Saving Time and lose one hour. While this will make waking up the next day painful for some of us, we do receive something in return: over the next several months we benefit from more light in the evenings.
This is our last year for making the time switch in April. In 2007, most of
North America will move the clocks forward an hour on the second Sunday in March.
This change, combined with a delay in returning to Standard Time in the fall,
will give us an additional four weeks of Daylight Saving Time next year.
To help you prepare for the time change, we have put together this list of quotes about time:
