While everyone else in the nation had to remember to move their clocks forward an hour last night, we here in Arizona got to relax and sleep in as usual...
Arizona along with Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands doesn't observe Daylight Savings time (the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona does observe DST because of their large size and location in three states). Because these states are located closer to the equator then the rest of the nation, the length of their days are more consistent throughout the year so there's really no need for us to adjust their clocks. If you've ever been to Arizona in the summer you know that with our extreme heat we really don't need an extra hour of sunlight!
