I heard that daylight savings time was suggested by Benjamin Franklin as a way to eliminate having to burn so many candles. Can you tell me if this is true? The time change is making me feel like I am losing my mind!

Dear Goofy:
Yes, that is the true origin of daylight savings. I know what you mean about feeling like you are losing your mind. It is such a wacky thing...and I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open!
