- Daylight saving time is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour during the spring and back again in the fall in order to take advantage of natural daylight. It has both benefits and negative consequences. This video helps you understand all of them.

There was way more negative effects than positive in this.
+Justin Ellis all the negatives are with the change and the positives are with the actual time change, so we should "spring ahead" in the spring, but then leave it there.
+Jack Millspaugh You'd be in wrong time zone for one thing .
name me one positive
Kawartha Cubs If they would stay on standard time they would get more hours. But they think they are getting more this way.Crazy.Now if they would stay on standard time and go out early they would get an extra hour if they extend the time they are out to another hour then it would be later. But the way they think it is an hour earlier. Not later.
iw ould rather we just stay on daylight saving year round too dark too early in the winter
I'm against daylight savings time. The detrimental effects on my health from changing my sleep patterns by far outweighs any benefit that I get from the little bit of light after work. We need to stop this…
Mmmm....good point.
If 40mins less of sleep causes detrimental effects to your health then go to the doctor
Bros gotta be 95 years old to have this as his main problem
They just changed it
You're ridiculous. It's only 40 mins. Better to get more sun out of the day. Cry baby
DST is like cutting off the top of your blanket and then sewing on the bottom.
True
instead of shifting time by an hour, shift businesses and schools an hour, have them start later and end later instead with a different time to fit the season
Impossible.
this is how its done in india
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 that's about reasonable as expecting Congress to come up with a good solution... impossible.
@@JGott0001 You'll just complain more
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 wait, were we both being sarcastic about schools and businesses changing their times or not? Which team am I on? 😂
Get rid of it
Levi Howell IKR people forget why it was there in the first place and in the modern world we don't need it
I don't even observe it.
I think is communism too.
Daylight saving time. AKA The dumbest thing ever.
lol
Youthoob Gamer it doesn't do any good. They think they are getting more daylight.
@Youthoob Gamer i rather have the summer time which is 1 hour ahead rather than change it backwards and just leave it that way.
How is daylight savings time saving any light? It still gets dark. The only thing is you just save one hour of daylight by added it to the end of the day, but no light is save after it becomes night.
Honestly
STANDARD TIME IS THE REAL TIME
Hate it when I lose an hour.
Love it when I gain an hour.
I wish there was a way to keep the hour without losing the daylight.
@@josephclegg3562 u could just not change your clock
@@kazumakobayashi7841 well then we would be on the wrong time half the year seeing how it's connected to how the earth rotates the sun
@takcci I agree! yeah I like when we gain an hour of sleep to have more sunlight early in the morning, good for our body health.
Yeah because changing the clocks back means you start your day later
1pm 2pm 3pm
12pm 1pm 2pm
Changing the clocks forward means you start your day earlier
1pm 2pm 3pm
2pm 3pm 4pm
It’s doesn’t give more daylight
DST is pretty much pointless anymore with most things having photocells & motion detectors. Like my dad told me years ago that DST was for people to be able to play golf later in the afternoon in the warmer months. (you know he might have something there) The other reason why it was never done away with is most people didn't want roofers and other contractors working at 6am when it is already daylight. 9 to 5's want to sleep in because they don't get up till 8am.
When Daylight 🏙️💡 Saving Time ⏱️ begins 🏁, we set our clocks 🕰️ forward 1 hour ⌛️ in the spring 🌸 & have darker mornings 🌄 & lighter 💡 evenings 🌃.
This did not explain the purpose of it... kind of useless.... smh
They think they are getting more daylight when actually they just getting an hour earlier by running up the clock.
They don't understand that the sun is out longer during the summer hours anyway without running up, but as you know they do it anyway.😂
That's because we get closer or farther away from the sun throughout the year which is daylight saving I always understood why this was a thing
@@shellyblanchard5788 ikr
I don't get at all. if you want more sunlight , just wake early.
why change the clock when you can get up early?
This whole time I thought it was for farming....
Duh
i no right
+Daniel Mtanous why'd u think that
+Daniel Mtanous If you watch the video she states it's for the economy, but growing up I heard it was so farmers can work in the daylight.
+Daniel Mtanous you'd think they work by daylight and not wait for the clock though
My daughter was so confused about the time until I showed her this. Delightful.
I am 45 years old and just getting it, what this all means after watching this well explained video. 👏 YAY! Thank you 😊
Standard time. Leave it the way it was made
George Hudson, a British labor union leader, invented day light saving time to give more light hours for factory workers to enjoy recreation. After WWI this idea spread throughout the world.
He was an idiot
If you think losing 40 minutes of sleep is sleep deprivation, then you’re lucky
For real!
Oh please 🙄
Yea this was a drag for sure
Ahh the American dream
Nice to know about the daylight savings and how it works. It really interests me.
watching this to understand the time in an rpg LMAO
I'm sick and tired of this time change .
I prefer year-round standard time because that's the true time and noon is noon. In Scotland this is even more useless because most places close at 6pm so it's a ghost town for 4 hours until the sun finally sets at 10pm which is too late considering our society is obsessed with getting up at 7am.
More time to buy stuff you don't need...Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Daylight saving Time is obsolete now that we have electricity LMAO 🤣
I wish that Daylight saving time was no more!!! Make the insanity stop and stop allowing businesses to control human behaviors especially sleep.
agree! like it's so annoying changing clocks back, and forth, back, and forth!
@@chichaiwahkap1340 Big deal, it's just twice in a year
thanks ; augment reality
We don't observe daylight saving time in Arizona because it serves no useful purpose. An Apache Chief once told me that DST is the same as cutting off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end to make it longer...... LOL
feels like real life back to the future.
Very helpful for my students!
For clocks that change automatically twice a year Especially for their Personal Devices (Chinese Traditional).

I remember last year we went on standard time and I didn’t realize it but when I woke up I was so refreshed
I literarily use Daylight Saving Time for the whole year. I live in Eastern Time zone in North America and I set all my clocks at UT-4 year round.
WHY?! We should be in UTC -5 year round in the Eastern Time Zone.
Thanks for this Great historical perspective. But the question is do we continue or discontinue ??
discontinue
Continue
Best idea: Just move the timezone 30 minutes ahead and remove DST
My favorite part of the video is when she nods, twinks and says "economics" at 1:39
Hate it, and I'm retired.
Instead of making everyone live on unnatural time, adjust the hours you do business. It's all about business after all and nothing else. Either that, or spring us ahead and leave it there and stop this back and forth BS.
I never understood why we don't just keep it ahead. UK had the right idea. Also, awesome to see you on CZcams!
Changing the clocks makes better use of the sun
Rather than waking up in dark especially in the winter
Or east daylight during the summer while everyone is asleep
It throws our circadian rhythms out of sync with the sun. Try getting up an hour earlier in the dead of winter, then get back to us on how much better year round DST is!
I love her hair ! She's pretty !
no DST here in Japan!
It should be the same everywhere else!
Keep DST ALL year! Get the benefits of evening sun with out "falling back" and never "Spring Forward"
pf1030 the result of DST in the winter will be that you will wake up in the morning and it will be dark. So it is not a good idea and we better stay on standard time.
Efraim Eli right. It dark earlier in the winter. That is why they end it in November. It would be dark if they ran it up or not.
It would be dark at 6:00 am in the winter which would be 5:00 am. Right now it gets dark at 5:00 pm. It is a natural occurrence with the seasons.
If you kept the time on Daylight Saving Time the whole year around in some of the far north or far south countries of the world it wouldn't become daylight until about 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning during the Winter Solstice. A smart idea? I think not.
@@darrenmiles-morland8038 You can't get them understand that. They run the clock up in the spring to get more what they is day light, when actually they are just getting up earlier. I don't go by it because it is a waste of time. They change their clocks here. After they change back the body goes back to it's regular routine.
All they do is change the times zones to a different location. I think it is silly why some dst all year round. Who wants to get up in the dark? Running the clock up would not give them more day light in the winter.
So you lose 40mins of sleep one night and it's a disaster? I lose that on a regular basis due to things out of my control.
I for one love DST, as in summer it's so nice having the sun out till 8 or 9pm on those warm nights
You wouldn't love it if you lived in the desert Southwest!
Denys A ikr I rather standard
Your clock is lying to you.
Really it is not out that long unless you live in a different time zone. 😁
I know the idea of having later sunsets sounds like a good thing, but over time it could be very disastrous.
An easy fix is to have permanent daylight saving and move the clock ahead by 1-2 hours depending on latitude.
Just change the school and office timing. What jerks are you guys
I like it dark early
ya me 2 😂💯
+Joseph G Same here.
me 3
Alaska is where you're destined to be my friend
I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WE MOVE ONE HOUR AHEAD , THERE IS NO GAIN IREGARDLESS OF WHO CAME UP WITH IT IS A PAIN TIME DOES NOT CHANGE THE SUN STARTS TO SHINE WHEN IT WANTS TO AND THEN AS THE WORLD TURNS IT SETS AND ITIS DARK AGAIN MOVING CLOCKS AHEAD DOES NOT CHANGE THE PHYSICS OF THIS SO WHY LOSE SLEEP OVER THIS ONE TIME THE WORLD OVER !!!!
Changing clocks 1 hour forward
1 hour Later sunrise and sunset
More light in the evening according to the clock
In Japan we didn’t have daylight savings time. It is very confusing and needs to be figured into business calls. Better to do business with countries with the intelligence to refuse this antiquated agrarian system of time.
When Daylight 🏙️💡 Saving Time ⏱️ ends 🔚, we set our clocks 🕰️ back 🔙 1 hour ⌛️ in the fall 🍂 & have lighter 💡 mornings 🌄 & darker evenings 🌃.
❤❤❤
Honestly I'm more of an evening person so this doesn't apply to me much... I just don't see the point of DST cuz it doesn't save energy. It takes me about a week to get used to the spring ahead an hour like this week lol.
As a creature of habit, I am resistant to the time change. 100% negative for my preference =o/
this is making me sleepy
Daylight savings in spring makes me sleep in 1 hour
If there will be a doing away with switching of the clock time, then why not choose the thirty-minute time in between the two?
To me, this may make the most sense.
The only ones who benefits from this are the stores
Just stay at daylight saving time forever. No on cares about winter, too cold to go out anyway.
Who else thinks the spring times is better
It should be the opposite... spring back, fall ahead, or just fall ahead, then you would actually see more hours of daylight... It's like everyone is caveman
I hope the fact that was given at time stamp 0:47 was not a mistake since logically people should get more sleep when clock springs forward 1 hour (video says worker lose 40 minutes of sleep on average).
My childhood use to think daylight savings was something like the earth slows down a day or freezes etc when it turned out its just clock set forward or backwards which still makes me dont get why we care..
DST in 30 mins now
Most people doesn't here doesn't care. One reason is because they are up all hours of the night anyway. Policemen have to be on patrol 24 -7, so how does it benefit them. It is crazy.
I'm in the UK, I think we should use DST all year.
More people will find that hour of daylight helpful at 6pm in the winter rather than having it at 8am instead.
i don't care what time they pick just pick one and leave it alone
True but daylight saving time doesn’t create more daylight but we wake up and start everything 1 hour early
Just remember that less than half the world does DST and you live in one of the counties that does it
The problem is nobody prepares for either change. We need to start getting to bed earlier and I’m a night owl!
We need to end this stupid hour changing thing. How dumb are we? We are so pathetic we can't even end it.
Daylight Savings Time is not all that bad. It could be worse. It could have been decided to move the hour up two instead of one.
Once we spring forward we stay lock in
Well is good because my daughter has to go on the bus school and is dark and sometimes cars dont see the kids they may get hit. I cant wait for Nov 1
Government doesn't tell me what my clock says. If we the people refuse to do what Gubberment says and DO NOT turn our clocks forward or backward, then the gubberment has to follow suit. There are more of we the people then senators and representatives never forget that.
I don't go by it .I had rather stay in one time zone. That is cst.
1:40
*the way i rolled my eyes* each the rich jfc
What a degenerate comment. Why do you still exist?
I SUPPORT DAYLIGHT SAVING DAY BECAUSE WE SAVE ENERGY ,AND WE GET LIGHT FROM THE SUN!!!
We don’t save energy. That is a lie.
Where do save energy? Do you stay out side till dark? 😂
@LegoGuy87 It is just to get you up an hour early for nothing😐
Where is the saving. It doesn't get you anymore sunlight than before.
I get light from a lamp after it gets dark. 😁
0:34 So does Asia too.
Not anymore
It helps with global warmin. :-) :-) :-)
People keep talking about making it permanent, but we're still changing our clocks.
I actually don't care, and hope it doesn't become permanent. (the same with standard time becoming permanent, which most people would prefer)
Where I live, this is what things are like now.
Winter months::
8:01 AM

I don't know about the evenings, but 9:01 is too late for sunrise, imo.
Summer months:

I don't know about the evenings, but 4:58 is too early for sunrise, imo.
I say stick to changing our clocks, even if it's a hassle. It's the only way to get the right amount of daylight in the mornings all year round. The only part of the world that shouldn't have to worry about that is everywhere closest to the equator.
The closer to the pole you are the more the benefits of daylight savings.
Who wants to move to colder climate just for that?
Where did you get those false facts? I looked some of them up and even on National Geographic website some of the facts are way different.
Tip: Before sleeping to DST, make sure to forward your alarm 1 hour ahead. EASY!
when they were doing this "study" had they conducted similar studies after any event like a movie award show or a football game?
Get rid of it, it's a annoying.
I never knew what DAY was until this video
In Hong Kong they also do not observe daylight saving time either.
For Example:
In the Summer:
When it's 11:00 a.m. in Vancouver.
It's 2:00 a.m. in Hong Kong.
Or. In the Winter:
When it's 11:00 a.m. in Vancouver.
It's 3:00 a.m. in Hong Kong.
In winter
Hong Kong is 16 hours later than Vancouver BC
8am Tuesday in Vancouver
12am Wednesday in Hong Kong
In summer
Hong Kong is 15 hours later than Vancouver
Hong Kong uses GMT+8 all year
Vancouver is GMT -8 in winter
And-7 in summer
No wonder day goes fast
yeah it's true! days by days does go fast alright!
We done change time we change the timings
Dolores Park! ❤️🌉
I never set my clock ahead for summer I like winter and how the time how it is in winter and time isn't really important to be to do anything so I dont follow daylight savings
That’s Good because your starting your day later than everyone else and it’s good for your health
So you don’t get up in the dark mornings
Getting up in the dark is tough

Do you manually fix your clocks? 🤣
it was to take advantage of of the length of daylight hours for farmers
Imagine when you cant go to bed 1 hour early to complain about loss of sleep the next morning. DST was solution to earth geographic attribute called Lattitude.
Also when you gain one hour more sleep makes you super human??
Who else changed their clocks backwards today
I still am not understanding how "setting the clock forward" 'or "backward" makes the sun either stay an hour longer or go away an hour faster. I recognize a regular day to be when it starts to get dark outside around 8pm. How is the sun disappearing earlier than usual? I don't get it! & what national clock are we simultaneously using to "set time" with here? Someone explain!
Shifting 1 hour 2 times a year is bad for sleep, instead the clock should shift 30 minutes 4 times a year: for example; first shift forward in early March, second shift forward in early May, first shift back in early September and second shift back in early November cuz it really won’t affect our sleep we can adjust our sleep schedule gradually 15 minutes for 2 days during the weekend
They proposed and tried that in Europe over 100 years ago, and it created mass confusion. My proposal: Set the time a half-hour ahead, and leave it that way. Both early risers and late to bedders both get some of what they prefer!
Trouble is not ever one gets the same amount of sun around the world because of the way the earth is positioned in space.
I'm sick and tired of moving my clocks back and forth in time! AZ got it right, end this nonsense and stick with DST.
How does Nat Geo ignore the natural shift in daylight received by most of the Earth?? It’s the primary reason for adjusting our clocks
I'm not a huge fan of pushing the sunlight you get in the morning and putting it into the evening.
I Live in Tunisia Nd We're Using the DST system ^^'
For me,daylight saving time is important for us.But green beans are better.
I don't know DST because I don't know English language and my country don't observe DST. But I know one thing. The presenter is cute. She is a cute girl.
Who's here in 2018
Hi
I think we should just leave the clocks alone. Whether it's permanent standard tine or permanent daylight saving time, I don't really care. I just want it to end.
