It's fall back time - Daylight Saving Time is upon us.

SooToday.com would like to remind it's faithful readers to turn their clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 6.

Did you know...?

- The modern version of Daylight Saving Time was originally proposed by George Vernon Hudson, a shift-working New Zealand entomologist, in 1895.

- During World War I, Germany and it's allies were the first to observe Daylight Saving Time in an effort to conserve coal.

- Although there is no daylight during the winter months, and 24-hour daylight in the summer, research stations in Antarctica still observe Daylight Saving Time in order to be in sync with supply stations in other parts of the world.

- The U.S. state of Arizona doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time, but the Navajo Nation (parts of which fall within Arizona's border) does. The Hopi Reservation, which is entirely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time. Because of this, there is ring (or donut) in Arizona that observes Daylight Saving Time, with a “hole” in the center that doesn't.
