It's Daylight Saving again ☀️

Hey Forumites,

Ready or not it's the start of Daylight Saving for 2025!

This can be a time of mix emotions for different Members so I'm curious what your thoughts are about an extra hour of daylight? Good or bad let's start a conversation to get a sence of what the communtiy thinks!

What's the history of Daylight Savings??

Well in Australia daylight saving in Australia was first started during World War I in 1916 to conserve energy by giving people more light in the evenings, and this was repeated during World War II. The practice was adopted permanently in the southeastern states during the 1970s, with the primary goal of making better use of daylight and reducing electricity consumption.

Here's some global history to satisfy your curiosity........

Can you feel that hour that you lost for sleep last night? I can I am really tired but didn't sleep well due to random thoughts popping up and being a bit restless. Could have done with that extra hour!!

What are you going to do with the later sunset this evening? Maybe a walk to make use of the extra daylight, take the doggos to the park or have a bbq in the warmer weather!!

We'd love to hear from the states who don't have Daylight Savings too! How does this imapct you? Maybe you have relatives interstate and now you need to work out the time difference every time you call. I forget sometimes too when I call my mum in QLD, oops 😬

Take care everyone 🙂
