Georgia residents will need to adjust their clocks this weekend as daylight saving time begins. The time change will occur at 2 a.m. on Sunday, September 22, when clocks will be set back one hour. This means an extra hour of sleep for some, but also earlier sunsets. Daylight saving time is observed to extend daylight hours in the evenings during the warmer months. It was first adopted in the United States during World War I to save energy, but its energy-saving benefits have been debated.
