Energy Consumption Patterns in Florida
Recent studies on energy consumption during DST in Florida show modest savings of approximately 0.8% in electricity usage. However, these savings are offset by increased gasoline consumption as people take advantage of extended daylight for travel and recreation. The net energy impact remains a subject of ongoing research and debate among policy makers.
Preparation Tips
✓ Gradually adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the time change to minimize disruption.
✓ Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
✓ Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
✓ Take advantage of the 'extra' hour in fall to catch up on sleep or tackle a project.
