Spring marks many changes: warmer weather, longer days, flowers peeping through the dirt. But for many people in the U.S., the approach of spring also means the start of daylight saving time.
This period, often incorrectly called daylight savings time, begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March, when clocks spring forward an hour—typically causing observers to lose an hour of sleep. Daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in November, when clocks fall back by an hour and observers gain an hour of sleep.is to maximize sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere, as days start to lengthen in the spring and then wane in the fall.
Summertime marks the Northern Hemisphere's time to shine. It leans toward the sun, causing longer and warmer days. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere is plunged into the short days of winter as it tilts away from the sun. Six months later, the situation reverses, and winter grips the North while light bathes the South.
When coal still ruled, daylight saving time was implemented as a way to maximize limited daylight hours. Because of this, a given region's participation depends, in part, on . Countries that are farther away have a more pronounced difference in day length between summer and winter and are more likely to participate in the time shift.
It is a total waste of time! Stop messing things up! No one benefits from 'day light savings' not a saving at all!
first world problems 🙄 glad you’re covering such groundbreaking topics.
Dalylight savings time should only be available as a paid feature for premium users.
I would prefer if all places switched to UTC, the time shown on this link, to eliminate time zone conversion and seasonal clock changes. Although there would be initial confusion as people get used to a new system.
Year-round Daylight Saving Time.
Times messing with me Aww Ahh what’s going on going Berserk
stop daylight savings time!
it sucks big time dont like it.. S.A.D bad enough without men monkeying around with it
Paywall prevents me from reading this. I’d like to know why it’s unpopular. In my area of the country we dislike standard time. Dark at 5:00 pm is depressing.
Only for industrial economy.. Knowledge economy doesn't benefit...
Time to stop using daylight savings time!
about time
Good!
So glad their focus is where it should be

Daylight savings was created to give people the sense they still had daylight left to have a home life once they came in from work.nothing but psychological manipulation to create an ignorant society.daylight hours never changed,just a clock of ignorance .
Was done by Nixon in the 70's and people hated winter sunlight at 830/845 AM. Lasted two seasons and was repealed. Those that fail to learn from history ......
🙏🙏🙏
Yay! OTO
what about kids going to school in the dark?
POTUS should wait for a bill that makes standard time permanent. SaveHighNoon
We should split the difference and call it good.
I don't mind the springing forward, it's nice to be able to enjoy more daylight in the longer Summer evenings, it's the constant changing every year I don't like, move them forward then just leave well alone :/ lol
how i knew when daylight savings begin it was in the movie national treasure - =)
No, there is no reason whatsoever for daylight saving to exist, at least nowadays; it would only benefit everyone to not have the useless time shifting...
الفزعه 😤هاذا الشخص نزل فديو عن الشتاء في روسيا ❄️عندهم this guy made vlog about winter in Russia 🇷🇺 incredible, insane
Since National Geographic is talking about time. I believe time gets counted according to who is counting. So that means that a day doesn't need to be 24 hours. A post could mean one day. So if I wanted to count 175+365+365+365=1281.5 posts that could be 3 1/2 years. Aight! Kk.
its bs
The time shift & holidays were formed to boost and develop A sustaining economic society. Facts & bold truths ... Quit making up chit !
Daylight saving in south america is just to pay laywers to. corrupt politicians get out of.jail!
Leave it on Summer please!!!
buckmasterflash Stop this insane practice! SenWhitehouse has the right idea!
I hate it 😖
... and we do. every. single. time. me, I like not waking up at the philosophically untenable hour of 4:30-5 am during July, and maybe not going to work in the dark in December.
Did adamconover ruin time change?
Judging from the comments it's really unpopular but people are just haters for no reason. I actually like it and miss the extra hour of sunshine, since 2019 it was abolished in Brazil. And some might say that 5% of power economy is irrelevant but it can't be ignored.
Psst...it does NOTHING to maximize daylight hours. You want to maximize your daylight hours, move to the arctic in the summer solstice. Or just stay where you are now and get up with the sun and go to bed when the sun goes down.
Stop daylight savings time
No it’s because of war State the facts
BS it was started by a group of Pharmacists & Beauty shops & restaurants Then max $$ w/ longer shopping hrs & later dinners!
We should abolish standard time.
More car crashes and industrial accidents the days after. Lots of danger in messing with workers sleep patterns especially those on dangerous jobs like construction.
raise stronger people who dont fall apart because the clock changed while they were sleeping.unless you work third shift, quicherbitchin
unpopular because people cant handle CHANGE in their delicate lives ,its not DLST u hate its standard time. and its dark in winter months. get over it.
that was when horses ploughed fields , not tractors, its not needed anymore, it should be abolished
DST is stupid. Any legislature that votes for it ought to be dissolved.
instead of going a full hour ahead only to have to pull them back a full hour... move them ahead a 1/2 hour now.. ONCE AND FOR ALL.. and we would never need to touch the ckocks ever again.. we'd have the best of both worlds. standard time and daylight saving time blended 🤯🤯🤯
ok hear me out... we keep doing this dance with the clocks spring ahead, fall back, spring ahead one hour, fall back one hour, ahead, back, ahead, back... meanwhile the sun and earth do their thing, their constant unwavering dosey doe. move clocks 1/2 hour and leave it 4ever..🤨
In Vancouver today, sunrise will be at 6:33 & sunset at 18:15. Halfway is 12:24 when sun will be overhead. So Vancouver is already 24 minutes ahead of local noon. On Sunday, it will be 1 hour & 24 minutes ahead. DaylightSavingTime is so stupid. Year-round Standard Time is best.
Turkish government fixed national time zone with a great wisdom, but fixed to wrong country. Turkish citizens now live according to Moscow time zone, which is exactly one hour earlier than expected. So all Turkish citizens wake up in a pitch black day in winter.
lol DST is extremely popular
I thought there must be some good reason to mess with our sleep. Interesting article!
In Seattle, during Summer with daylight time, it starts getting light at 4:30AM and stays light until 9:30PM. On standard time it would start getting light at 3:30AM. No thank you!
Let there be light.
I live in RI (therefore, on the edge of the eastern time zone). In the winter, it gets dark at 3! DaylightSavingTime is a joy! Bring it on!
How come Ben Franklin was the supporter of this event but anyways and USA promoted int whole world it seems weird
I for one love day light savings time. I rarely can sleep after it starts getting light out. I can appreciate those in hot climates want to enjoy being up after the sun sets when it is not so hot.
Pretty much everybody with a brain thanks we should just have one time, a big argument as whether it should be standard or daylight. I am a fan of standard!
Ditch it.
Ok
