Daylight-savings Time begins at 2 AM Sunday

And we're losing sleep over this?

Daylight-saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, and with it comes the same problems, the same benefits, the same arguments.

The kids will wait for the morning school bus in the dark. But you'll have an extra hour of sunlight to squeeze in a round of golf after work.

However, the biggest upside since Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea in 1784 to save candles was supposed to be that it saved energy by reducing the need for artificial light at night. The U.S. government followed that rationale in World War I and again in World War II, when daylight-saving time stuck.

It turns out the rationale might not be true.
