Next Sunday —at around 2 a.m. — clocks will roll back an hour, marking the end of daylight savings time and giving us all an extra hour of sleep.

For most, the time change is a pleasant one, allowing individuals to gain the hour they lost when the daylight savings began March 10 at 2 a.m.

According to the History Channel’s website, daylight saving was originally intended to reserve fuel and dates back to World War 1. At that time, it was referred to as “war time.”

For Selma resident Kuawanda Ragland, the time change makes life a little easier. As a mother of three boys and a working woman, she appreciates the extra hour of sleep. Normally, her day starts at 5 a.m.

“It’s not an adjustment for me,” Ragland said. “I get to sleep a little bit longer.”

While most focus on the advantages that come with the time change, Orrville resident Beth Caver dreads the shorter days.

For Carver, less daylight means less quality time with her children after work.

“I get off at 5:30 p.m., so I miss a lot of my afternoon,” Caver said. “That’s less time to play outside with my children outside.”

Capt. Chris Graham of the Selma Fire Department said this time of year is also a good time to remind residents to change the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Daylight Savings Time will return Sunday, March 9, 2014.
