Sunday, March 13 at 2am marks the beginning of Daylight Savings Time (DST). Ever wonder how this time phenomenon came about?

What was sparked by an effort to save candle wax evolved into a modern-day practice across the globe. Later advocates for DST would site energy conservation as a benefit with the discovery of electricity. The practice of saving light, artificial or not, has become a timekeeping tradition of today that allows people far and wide to indulge in the little pleasures of life - an extra hour of light in more pleasant months and another hour under warm covers when it's cold.
