Get ready to “spring forward” one hour on Sunday, March 12th at 2:00 a.m., which means most people experience losing an hour of sleep. Don’t forget to reset any manual clocks or timepieces that you have, and it’s always a good idea to double check that your smart devices successfully updated as well. FYI – Germany was the first modern nation to implement DST (1916) and the U.S. started observing DST in 1918.
