WE ARE LOSING AN HOUR.
This Sunday, March 8, at 2:00 a.m., Daylight Saving Time officially begins. The bad news? You lose an hour of precious weekend sleep.
The good news? The sun is finally going to stay out past dinnertime. This means you officially have zero excuses for putting your pajamas on at 5:30 p.m. Spring is coming, Georgina. Act accordingly.
Be a champion of daylight.
