Losing an hour of sleep should be illegal 😭
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a system where clocks are moved forward by one hour during the warmer months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. It is usually implemented in spring (“spring forward”) and reversed in autumn (“fall back”). The idea was popularized by Benjamin Franklin and later formally proposed by George Vernon Hudson in the late 19th century. Many countries in North America and Europe use DST to make better use of natural daylight, which historically helped reduce energy use and extend evening activities.
However, DST is not used everywhere. Countries near the equator see little seasonal change in daylight, so adjusting clocks offers little benefit. For example, India does not observe Daylight Saving Time and stays on the same time all year. In recent years, DST has become controversial because some studies suggest it disrupts sleep patterns, increases health risks, and may not save as much energy as once believed, leading some regions to debate ending the practice.
