HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 8 (acn) Cuba will observe daylight saving time at midnight between Saturday and Sunday when the clocks will turn one hour ahead to 1am on March 20, according to a note published by Granma newspaper.

Daylight saving time is used as a way to save energy by extending daylight, therefore reducing the need to use artificial lighting.

Daylight saving time was first introduced in Cuba in 1928 but it was not widely accepted until World War II. After the war, daylight saving time was no longer observed until 1965. In 2004 the Caribbean nation remained on daylight saving time until October 29, 2006. After two years operating all year-round without changing from "summer" to "normal" time, Cuba decided to re-establish standard time on October 29, 2006
