Today, Saturday, October 24, 2009 is the day of time change for Fall 2009. In this day you can get extra time to sleep each morning. It is called Daylight saving time (DST). The DST is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less.
Daylight saving time also known as summer time in British English. The concept of Daylight Savings Time was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist. But historians note that Romans used different clock scales in ancient times at different parts of the years.
