(First paragraph ) The main
purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in the
world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer
months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Countries
have different change dates. Glide your cursor over the map to see how changing
the clocks affects different latitudes.
(Second paragraph)People occasionally complain about Daylight Saving Time.
Frequent complaints are the inconvenience of changing many clocks and adjusting
to a new sleep schedule. For most people, this is a mere nuisance, but some
people with sleep disorders find this transition very difficult.
(Third paragraph) Another complaint is sometimes put forth by people who
wake at dawn, or whose schedules are otherwise tied to sunrise, such as farmers.
Farmers often dislike the clocks changing mid-year. Canadian poultry producer
Marty Notenbomer notes, "The chickens do not adapt to the changed clock until
several weeks have gone by, so the first week of April and the last week of
October are very frustrating for us."
(Fourth paragraph) The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin
Franklin (portrait at right) during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris
in 1784, in an essay, "An Economical Project." Read more about Franklin's essay.
Some of Franklin's friends, inventors of a new kind of oil lamp, were so taken
by the scheme that they continued corresponding with Franklin even after he
returned to America.
5.(Fifth paragraph) The idea was first advocated seriously by London builder
William Willett (1857-1915) in the pamphlet, "Waste of Daylight" (1907), that
proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April, and
retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September. As he was taking
an early morning a ride through Petts Wood, near Croydon, Willett was struck by
the fact that the blinds of nearby houses were closed, even though the sun was
fully risen. When questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier,
Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?" In his pamphlet "The Waste
of Daylight" he wrote:
"Everyone appreciates the long, light evenings. Everyone laments their shortage as Autumn approaches; and everyone has given utterance to regret that the clear, bright light of an early morning during Spring and Summer months is so seldom seen or used."
