Halloween to Come Before Daylight Savings Time 2009

Happy Halloween to Come Before Daylight Savings Time 2009

By Robert Dougherty

Halloween and Daylight Savings Time don't often go together. But after all the happy Halloween comments and candy are given out, Daylight Savings Time 2009 will be here. By the grace of the calender, after every has a happy Halloween, they will have an extra hour to sleep it off. Daylight Savings Time 2009 is always a welcome event in the fall, but it is extra special today since it comes right after Halloween.

With happy Halloween comments going all around the country today and tonight, it will then be time to wish a happy Daylight Savings Time 2009 a few hours later. For most of the world, Daylight Savings Time took place last week. But thanks to changes made here at home, the Daylight Savings Time schedule now happens on the first Sunday in November in fall.

By luck, the first Sunday of November in 2009 is the first day of the month, and the day after Halloween. This year, Halloween 2009 is already special for children, since they can go out and eat candy as late as they want, since tomorrow isn't a school day. What's more, they get to sleep in an hour later, since the clocks are set back by an hour at 2 a.m. on November 1.

Children with stomachaches tomorrow morning will be extra glad to sleep in even more than they already will. As for adults going to Halloween parties, they get to party an extra hour, or sleep off their stomachaches and hangovers for an extra hour as well.

It will be a happy Halloween indeed, for those who like to sleep in and get a long rest after a long Halloween night. Daylight Savings Time 2009 has found the perfect place to arrive this year, which wouldn't have happened if Congress didn't alter the "fall back" and "spring ahead" dates a few years ago. They did it to help with energy efficiency, and people will now have more crucial time to get their energy back after Halloween 2009.

Of course, although Daylight Savings Time may be good to help sleep off Halloween night, the new schedule may still be hard to adjust to afterwards. Once people are done with this busy weekend, and have to get back to work, the new sleep schedule and increased darkness in the early morning may cause their usual problems.

But before a happy Halloween can start, people will probably have to remember to set to Daylight Savings Time earlier, before the partying starts and it slips their minds.
