Mass confusion has erupted throughout the region as a result of Lebanese government's last-minute decision to postpone daylight saving time until the end of Ramadan next month. Prime Minister Najib Mikati made the decision on Thursday, and many companies have made the change, while others haven't, causing thousands of Lebanese students to juggle daily and school schedules in different time zones. On the last Sunday of March, the 55-mile-wide Mediterranean country normally shifts its clocks an hour, but it has been postponed until April 21. Although no reason was given for the call, it was widely believed that the country's Muslim population fasting during Ramadan would have been able to break their fasts an hour earlier.
