Daylight Saving Time (DST) dates back to the early 20th century. The idea of DST is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested it in 1784 as a way to save candles. However, it wasn't seriously considered until much later.
DST was first implemented in Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I in 1916 as a way to conserve fuel. Other countries, including the UK and the US, followed suit.
After World War I, many places reverted to standard time, but some continued to observe DST. DST was reinstated during World War II for similar reasons related to resource conservation. In the United States, the Uniform Time Act standardized the start and end dates of DST, beginning on the last Sunday in April and ending on the last Sunday in October.
In 2007, the start date was changed to the second Sunday in March, and it still ends on the first Sunday in November.
The effectiveness and benefits of DST are debated, with some arguing it saves energy, while others contend that it disrupts sleep patterns and has minimal impact on energy consumption.
Today, not all regions observe DST, and some have opted out entirely, leading to a patchwork of time observance across different areas.
