- What is Daylight Saving Time and is it necessary?
That's the question many people around the globe are wondering as they prepare to change their clocks and their sleep schedules.
It turns out the practice of shifting societal schedules in order to utilized more daylight throughout the year started as a way to reduce demand on resources like candles and coal.
Today, some argue Daylight Saving Time helps reduce energy, but does it really? What's the real reason for losing or gaining that extra hour of sleep?

Daylight Savings Time needs to END!!
Absolutely serves no purpose, and is hard on the human body.
It needs to stay in savings time always
@@jeanhill210 if you stay on daylight saving time
Sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour later during winter
Changing the clocks does not create more daylight but it shifts the time of sunrise and sunset
It’s not that bad, you need to toughen up
I would like permanent Daylight Saving Time. Having an extra hour of sunshine after works ends can really help depression. Driving home in the dark after a long day is depressing.
I Say The Same Thing!! Why Don't Keep The Day Saving Time All Year Around.
Absolutely agree.
Absolutely!
Daylight saving time is normally 1 hour forward
Standard time is the actual time in the country without DST
@@donalddavis6689 If you did you would have less light in winter because you have less light anyway. even getting up ealier in winter. It stays dark till around 7:00AM and is around 4:00PM
So you’re saying I should choose between $13 or a heart attack. Let me get back to you on that one
@Wafi Hartono I think he took the heart attack
Need to get rid of it totally.
You can live in Arizona or Hawaii if you want to not deal with it
Stop changing time, it drives me crazy twice a year!!!
In many places, they have gotten rid of it, like Arizona. And no other country than USA does this. I suggest maybe moving to one of these places. It’s only 2 days per year though so it’s not a big deal.
Oh please no. We need to end this barbaric practice.
Barbaric? You’re taking it a bit far
Leave it always daylight savings
A wise Indian once said, "Only the government would believe that if you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”
Dennis Karnes I love this
Haha.. reading this from India.
How is that relevant
We need to move forward from old habits and think about all the negative impact this is causing to our health and economy.
It’s two days out of a year that we’re taking to do this, it’s like nothing
Please please leave daylight saving time all year around, why changing the time?
I know, it's a joke. And we stop using it when we really need it in the winter months, it should stay forward or 30 minutes forward at the least!
Guys just move to a state that doesn’t do it
Nothing but nonsense. Everytime getting rid of it comes up, a different excuse has been announced. In the 1950s, it was due to waiting on farmers to get electricity.
You can move to Arizona or out of USA even. Many states have gotten rid of it.
@@jayasmrmore3687 I've no reason to move. I'm a US citizen.
Get ready for heart attacks, sleep deprivation, and car accidents everyone because daylight savings is coming.
What is gonna happen?
Crime will be detered.
This part of the usa empire of hell agenda..
DST can throw off a person's whole sense of time perspective, such as when the sun sets and it's getting dark. The timing of one's whole day can be arrested.
Split the difference, keep it at 30 minutes year long.
Now that's what I'm talking about!
Why is it a big deal to change clocks anyway
At the 2:50 mark she sounds like she's saying "a ball of s***"😱
HAHA
The way I see it put us on daylight saving time permanently
This video miss an important point for the campaign against the switch of the clock. Is that we want to abolish the “standard time” and keep the “day saving time”. This mean keep the summertime clock all the year around, and have more light in the evening during all the year. Not abolishing the summer time.
I live on the far side of the Eastern Time Zone. The sun does not set until 10pm in the summer. It really screws with the amount of sleep we get. Daylight savings time needs to end.
Keep Daylight Savings on for the Spring and Summer Season🕑🕑🕑🕑🕑🕑🕑🕑
You do realise that daylight saving time means sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour later according to our clocks
Standard Time means
Sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour earlier on the clock
Get rid of the change, but keep the time on DST. The extra hour of sun each day is worth it.
I agree!
Yes winter gets so depressing sometimes :(
You don't get more sunlight due to DST.
Exactly my thought
@@rutabagasteu True but you shift the time when you get it. Driving home in the dark after a long day at work is depressing. I say it is better for mental health to get some sun after you get off work. Most people either leave for work just after dawn or not long afterwards in the dead of winter. By having Daylight Savings year round yeah you be more likely to leave for work before dawn but you get an hour extra of sun after work.
I hate DST. Get rid of it. Leave the standard time and be done with it. God. It's so annoying
Yeah and standard time is the quickest way to end the clock change in the USA
The 1966 Uniform time act is that States can only opt out of DST and remain on Standard time without a congressional approval
Permanent DST is federally prohibited in the USA
We don't lose more sleep. 24 hours it's 24 hours. On the east coast in the summer it gets dark around 9:30. So even if you went to sleep at 9:30 and woke up at 6:00 a.m. that's over 8 hours of sleep.
Health matters precisely a quadrillion times more than the economy.
What if your work hours fall during the time change? Is that OT?
I like Daylight Savings time. So do most of the people I know. The change is what hurts people. Stop changing it. There, problem solved.
Seems to me it's big "bidness" that profits from DST. People who are off work earlier but still put in fulltime, then are lured by extra daylight to indulge their outdoor pursuits, whether shopping at the mall, or spending money on sports and supplies etc.
I finally figured out how to not worry so much about the Twice a year time Changes And that is if I wait until 2 AM and then Change the Clocks that will be best so that way I’m not confusing myself
It still amazes me we still adhere to day light savings . With an increase in pedestrian fatalities and car accidents directly related to this its terrible we still follow this out dated tradition in 2020 and the list of states and provinces opting out is growing , either we all do it or nobody does it . How many have to die before we realize day light savings helps no one .
Its only an hour. The change is what bothers people. Stop the hange. Personally I prefer Daylight Szvings time. More light after work on the winter fir outside activuties.
@@a.p.5429 People dont like change thats for sure . Some people like the time change and some dont and all for their own reasons . Like you said its only an hour , if you can accomplish so much in that said hour then things look good i guess . Neither one of us are going to have a choice though , the majority rules and DST will be abolished at some point as it should ..
Get rid of DST!!! Regardless of how much the clock is 'shifted' there are only 24 hours in the day. Want mor sunshine? Get up earlier!!
Yes. I agree.
JollyRoger0944 When I use to work with my dad on our farm we’d get up around 5:00 am to start work for sunset, DSL time would save us from getting up at 4:00 am. :S so I like it idk
JollyRoger0944 yep
Saskatchewan is functioning just fine, Manitoba should follow that example. Just saying.
When we spring forward, time feels a little fast for a few days. When we fall back, time feels a little slow for a fee days.
john tracy facts
Obviously
Setting clocks forward means fast time
Setting clocks back means slow time
still very confusing for people like me in tropical country we were lucky we dont have that unfortunately we need to comprehend this for work
So we should just live under daylight savings time because it helps depression just don’t ever change the clocks back
Go forward a half hour and leave it there.
Damn I’m from nz and it’s the 1st of March now which officially means summer is over and this daylight savings bs will be in place in a couple of weeks😞😞 not looking forward to sleeping at 9pm
What really gets me is how people just do it without question. The only one I ever hear complaining about it is me. People are just too simple minded to think for themselves.
daylight (not)savings is the most useless habit people adhere to without questioning. i dont expect to see the end of this idiocy in my lifetime. grrr. 🤨
@@johnpenner5182 - Yeah I think you're right.
People question it too much actually
@@jayasmrmore3687 I'm not seeing it.
@@robertgantry2118 have you ever asked anyone what their thoughts are on daylight savings
I have a rent due next week. So i adjusted my clock 3000hours backwards and im living the best life now
I lived in Phoenix, and it was wonderful not changing time. Plus Phoenix is half an hour off local apparent time as it is.
Phoenix’s longitude is 112 degrees West
And divide it by 15 equal to ( they are on the correct time zone GMT-7 )
If you look at Buenos Aires
Longitude: 58 degrees west ( supposed to GMT-4 but they use GMT-3)
They have Sunrise and sunset unusually later on the clock
@@tahmidabdin4625 Correct. It is 8 degrees (32 first minute parts of the hour) east of the the Pacific Time Principal Meridian and 7 degrees (28 first minute parts of the hour) west of the Mountain Time Pricipal Meridian. Placing it about half way between each. So, on the equinoxes, the sun would rise and set within two first minute parts of the hour of 0630 and 1830 standard hours respective to the Mountain Time Zone Principal Meridian (105 W Longitude). Daylight Saving Time would not be realistic here.
Set all clocks back 30 minutes Sunday and just LEAVE IT THAT WAY
Ronald Farias PREACH
I wish this happened. Currently in Winter sunsets at 3.30pm and Summer 10pm here, if we kept it in the middle the evenings would be more reasonable and no more sleep disruptions.
Stop changing the time. Standard Time only please here in Georgia.
Why do they want cut an hour out of the day with this practise. Looks like they would want to make the day longer not shorter.(:
To all the municipal corporations masquerading as governments:
Pick one (DST or Standard) and leave it there, preferably Standard!!
You must be a morning person then if you like Standard more
@@jayasmrmore3687
Without daylight saving time and remaining on standard time during summer
Sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour earlier
Without standard time during winter and remaining on DST
Sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour later
@@tahmidabdin4625 which is why I said they must be a morning person because I prefer darker mornings and brighter evenings
@@jayasmrmore3687 permanent daylight saving time is the worst for winter especially
Why do you want to wake up and start school and work an hour earlier
Most Schools and work starts at 8am but sunrise at 7:30am
You basically changing 8am to 9am but the sunrise will be changed to 8:30am
Daylight Saving Time does indeed change the time (on the clock) the sunrise and sunset
So in a week from now is when you reset your clocks one hour. And if you ever get confused, just remember this handy little saying: When you trip you fall forward, but when you are surprised, you spring back! That will help you always remember which way to move your clock.
Hope this helps. P.S. I once knew a co-worker who moved the clocks the wrong way and was 2 hours late for work. Don't let that happen to you.
I know there is a lot of different research offering different facts about having daylight savings time or not. All I know is how I feel. I love daylight savings time. Why? I feel like I am a bear going into hibernation in November. I hate when the sun starts to set at 4:30 - 5:00 in the afternoon. It's ridiculous. I am tired from November until March. Can't get anything done. Annoying. I want permanent daylight savings time. I feel like I just woke up. I feel more energized.
I don’t understand how losing an hour is a day lost
When one sets the clock an hour ahead in spring, and still has to be at work at nine o'clock, one loses an hour of sleep because of the arbitrary constraints of the world saying one must be to work when the clock says nine, when in natural time it is really only eight.
Maybe during Daylight Saving Time one should have the option of not having to be to work til ten.
as a person living near the equator, i'm still confused. why not just collectively change schedules for every season instead of adjusting the clock?
Daylight Savings does save Energy
I hate daylight savings time in in colorado it needs to go away
In the 90s, I bet kids used DST as good excuse to be late for school 😄😄😄
it happens during the weekend
There is one real good reason we move our clocks back in fall. Children waiting for the bus to go to school. In the dark or light? What do you want for your kids?
Time change waste of time.
I'm pretty sure people here have said that children would be going to school in the dark. I know how to solve that problem.
Make it so they get three months of winter off, instead of summer. Plus I don't think school can be called off, like it is when it's too snowy.
So, now... I'll never get that hour back!
What right dose anyone have to play with time! 24 hours a day 7 days a week 12 months a year , just leave it on daylight time it's great all round and its good for your mental heath, what is there to debate about 🤷🤦

I really like the rule that was used from 1987 to 2006 (first Sunday in April to last Sunday in October) why? if you have daylight saving time after Halloween now kids are going to school in dark
you may say no Problem stay on standard time the sun will rise at 4:25 AM instead of 5:25 AM and the sun will set at 7:59 PM instead of 8:59 PM
Hear that with the bugs that makes no sense. Just change your time that you bug hunting bugs don’t pay no attention to a clock.
On Teen titans Beast boy said that farmers are the cause of the time skipping. Hehehe
We change our clocks so we can have an equal amount of daylight all year long, since the sun is supposed to be the highest at 12pm.
I think we changed the clock too early because when I got up this morning it was still dark
“Are we holding onto to the practice because of tradition? If this is the only reason than it might be time for a change.” Tell that to religions who’ve been believing in traditions for hundreds of years😂
I don't like it, it's still light outside when a lot of us are due to go to bed
I'm offended that they used a window unit to represent AC. And yes I work in HVAC 😤🤬
Clocks aren't even made to go backwards. Spring Ahead and enough of this bologna. Pick one and stick with it already, please. 🙏 Lord please make this the last Fall Back forever, in Jesus name, Amen.
It needs to be abolished.
I think EST+30min E DST -30min would be perfect time for all months.
Aside from not having sunset at 3pm, i don't see a point.
Leave it one way or the other.
Instead of changing clocks twice a year we should do it once a year.
It’s that time again lmao
Hate it.
Gets dark at 9.
Hard to sleep
Maybe we should do this a little slower like change time only once every year instead of twice a year. Why burden the population. ;-)
Save for :
Apr 1, 2024
Don't wait for USA just ditch it. DST is pointless in Canada, we get plenty of daylight in the summer, too much as a matter of fact.. If any industries are affected by different time in US they can just change their working hours.
Obviously it’s pointless because changing the clocks doesn’t create more daylight
bell mobility Glitch this morning had me miss work for today....LOL.... stupid smart tech! I mean stupid alarm clock didnt go off and was way off!! smh... oh well
As someone who lives near the equator all my life, trying to understand DST kinda hurts my brain
Exactly you live near the equator. For us who don’t have nice warm days year-round, having an “extra hour” of sunshine is actually really important to most people.
@@mranderson2215 changing the clocks doesn’t create more daylight
@@tahmidabdin4625 that's the part they don't get
It takes me a month to get used to time change. And in Florida we need more light til later during the winter cause snow birds will spend more money. They are fighting it and I believe it's up to Congress to decide.
Changing the clocks doesn’t create more daylight
@@tahmidabdin4625 exactly changing the time does nothing
@@diegoheredia1223 but it does change the time (on the clock) the sunrise and sunset
Sunrise at 5:45am
They change 5:45am to 6:45am in spring
In Fall
Sunrise at 7:05am
Change 7:05 to 6:05am
The main reason why we use daylight saving time or change the time
Countries that lives in lower latitudes do not change their clocks because sunrise and sunset time doesn’t change a lot
Country that’s lives higher latitude change the clock because sunrise and sunset time changes through the year
In Dubai
Latitude is 25 degrees North
In London uk
Latitude is 51 degrees north so thats why uk change the time on the clock
@@diegoheredia1223 I would like to keep Standard Time all year
Our clocks does not sync with the sun during daylight Saving time
Solar noon would be at 1pm or 2pm depending on which side of a time zone you live in East or west
Solar noon should be about 12pm
@@tahmidabdin4625 I live in Florida. So I can't decide what I prefer for both daylight and standard time. In the 90s, I bet we all used DST as a good excuse to be late for work/ school 😄😄😄
100 % agree standard time do Not believe in daylight savings , that was done for a reason way back in the early 1900's to Dave on candles during workers in manufacturing , were definitely in a new times and era ,they need to change back to standard times
Doesn't want an extra hour of sunshine we All do it's great.
In other words we need daylight savings time to end
Agree to either 100% Daylight or Standard time!
Whyyyy.. So stupid. We still paid ... anyway
It doesn't save daylight. It's not like you take daylight from the summer and save it up to use in the winter. All we're doing is changing our clocks. In Central Texas, just as the days are getting longer and the nights shorter, we all get told to change our clocks and we all just do it, and kids are out there waiting for the bus in the dark again. It's stupid. It's STUPID, and WE'RE STUPID for doing it.
During daylight saving time you are forcing yourself to wake up and start work and school an hour earlier
Changing our clocks does not create more daylight
It’s the idea of having more light in the evenings during summer
I would recommend standard time where there’s more light in the mornings which reset our body clocks
hello,i love friends
Please Get Rid Of Daylight Saving Time
I prefer standard time but I'll take permanent DST if it means we ditch changing the clocks forever.
Permanent standard time is the quickest way to end the clock change
The current law is that states can only opt out of DST and remain on standard time permanently without congressional approval
This is due to 1966 Uniform Time Act
Permanent DST is federally prohibited in USA
This why you are still changing your clocks
What’s the point staying on DST in winter
Changing the clocks does not create more daylight
@@tahmidabdin4625 I prefer both DST and Standard Time. The reason why is because of the seasons. Back in the 90s, kids used DST as a perfect excuse to be late for school 😄😄😄. They knew damn well that the hour was springing forward!

Stop keep taxpayers healthy they pay your salary 😢😢😢 follow up 2 provinces and territories 😢😢😮😢
YES WHY?? Someone please get this twice a year aggrivation on a ballot, and hopefully people will vote to get rid of this dinosaur.
It's the equinox that does it nothing else
I DO NOT understand why this is dredged up two times a year. We waste hours entertaining ourselves on TV, playing games, going to movies, etc. Loosing an hour in just TWO days in a year should NOT be causing so much of a fuss. Are we actually that weak a species that we can't adjust to an hour gained or lost? We do it all the time with flights across time zones. Can you PLEASE stop reporting this non-topic two times a year. We are stronger than the fuss being made over this non-issue!!!
Not worth it to change clock back and forth.
There is a reason it is called Standard Time there is a good reason for time zones but the reason for Daylight saving time is gone most factory's do not have windows anymore. Leave the clocks at a Standard time and adjust your schedule to your liking. When it is summer I prefer to work outside during cool early morning than having a hour of blazing heat
It still doesn't make any sense to me.
So I only slept 3 hours..
Bah humbug! Hate clock changeing! Pointless! 👎
No you don't get more sunlight in the evening, You are just going outside earlier, not later, even though the clock says it. (:
Correct you start your day earlier
You don’t have more daylight
@@tahmidabdin4625 Right, they to make it look that way though. One woman said she likes DST because she has more time to herself before her kids go to school. lol. I used to work about 20 years ago and got disab , i would get at 5:00am and it still be dark I would leave around 6:00AM. I would come home about 5: PM. It was just an hour early, not an hour later. After i quit working I was wondering does it really get out of it. Nothing. I stay on standard time now. Arizona stay on it all year round, so I can to regarless if they change their clock here or not. I am on cst.
@@shellyblanchard5788 sunrise and sunset time in Hawaii does not change that much
That’s why they don’t change the clock
@@tahmidabdin4625 really? The thing about it is the way the central time is set up in Kentucky, they still want to move clock ahead in the spring even though it gets hot during though summer hours in June. I don't go out side that much during summer hours because it gets so hot from June to August, only to go to the grocery store and back. They have a busing system here so now, use that to keep from having to walk, unless I don't have the bus fare.
An hour early or hour later, really doesn't make a difference it's still hot. 😉. What good it does them I don't know😊.
If the bill passes in Congress they won't be running the clock up this spring. Bush in 2007 signed it in to law to run the clock up in the spring, and back in November, like everyone going to follow through on it. 😃
This is ridiculous
is a way of stealing time from people you end up working more over the years
Ugh I’m sleepy stupid daylight saving time
I don't get why this is such a big deal if you fly to another timezone do you crash your car and have a heart attack? The one advantage I see is that people like the longer evenings after work in the summer. As long as we all agree to one way or the other I don't care just stop whining about it.
Traveling east one time zone is voluntary. The DST spring forward is not unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii.
The sun is at a different place when you travel across time zones. The sunset and sunrise are different when you travel, not so when switching to and from DST.
When we fall back in november leave it there and just get up an hour earlier in the spring. 😁that is all you do anyway. 😅
It’s lame is what it is I fkn hate imagination it has no appreciation for life and reality
