It was chosen as a time when switching clocks would be least disruptive to people's lives. Of course you don't have to wake up to do it right at 2:00!
The idea was so that stores, offices, etc. wouldn't be all out of whack by changing at, say, noon.

Why did Daylight Saving Time end earlier other years?
To end daylight saving time (and, by the way, it's "daylight saving" without the second "s") nationwide, we'd need an act of Congress. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established rules for time zones across the United States and a uniform nationwide daylight saving time period, and per that act, states can opt out of daylight saving, but they can't "spring forward" permanently without Congress.In 2019, 36 states have proposals for choosing either standard time or daylight saving time and ending the twice-yearly clock confusion. A Florida bill to move to permanent daylight saving time passed in 2018, but it still needs approval from Congress. Although these bills do have widespread, bipartisan support, opponents claim that ending the practice would create confusion and hurt businesses, particularly if the changes are only applied at the state level.So, why do we change our clocks twice a year in the first place—and does daylight saving time really save anything?How Daylight Saving Time StartedIt certainly did when it was introduced in the early 20th century. Germany was the first country to establish daylight saving time on April 30, 1916. The move was intended to conserve electricity during World War I, and weeks after the Germans enacted it, the United Kingdom did the same. The logic: People could add an hour of sunlight to their workdays by adjusting their schedules. At a time when electricity was relatively expensive, that was a big deal.The concept spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. On March 31, 1918, the United States implemented daylight saving time as a wartime measure. Contrary to popular belief, farmers didn’t benefit, and in fact, farmers led some of the first (unsuccessful) efforts to repeal the practice. Congress passed a repeal bill in 1919, and after that, states were left to decide for themselves whether or not they wanted to observe daylight saving.Except for a brief return to national daylight saving time during World War II, states implemented daylight saving in different ways, falling back and springing forward on different dates (or not at all). That caused tremendous confusion and plenty of lost productivity, so Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. Today, 48 states observe daylight saving; Hawaii and Arizona are the outliers.Arguments Against Changing the ClockIn recent years, some policymakers and activists have questioned whether daylight saving makes sense in a modern world. Sure, we might gain an hour of sunlight, but is that worth the confusion that inevitably results from twice-annual time changes?"We know a lot more than we did over 50 years ago, when it became sort of the uniform standard over the United States," Oregon state representative Julie Fahey, who regularly sponsors a bill that would enact year-round daylight saving in the state, told National Geographic. "The time to talk about it is now."Some of the arguments for abolishing twice-annual time changes include:It's unhealthy. A study presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 68th Annual Meeting in 2016 found that daylight saving transitions "may be tied to an increased risk of ischemic stroke." The theory: Time changes disrupt our circadian rhythms, resulting in as much of an 8 percent increase in the overall rate of strokes.It hurts productivity. By one estimate, sleep deprivation costs the U.S. economy about $411 billion per year. Time changes disrupt sleep schedules, particularly when "springing forward" and losing an hour.It might actually reduce energy efficiency. A 2008 study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that in Indiana, residential electricity demands actually increased when the state enacted daylight saving time.However, proponents of DST note that it reduces pedestrian fatalities during dawn and dusk hours. The practice is also beneficial for some industries; in 1986, representatives of the grill and charcoal industries claimed that extending daylight saving time from six to seven months would provide them with an additional $200 million in sales.In any case, the tide seems to be turning against DST (albeit very, very slowly). Scott Yates, an entrepreneur and anti-time-change activist, runs the website #LockTheClock to advocate for an end to changing the clocks twice a year."The good news is that compared to when I started working on this, I can see the momentum changing in the press inquiries I'm getting, the legislative interest, the visitors to this site, and more," he wrote. "So, I know you won't like changing the clock again this fall, even though this is the one where you get an extra hour of sleep. But you can get that sleep with a bit of comfort that the world of clock changing is slowly drifting away."
When it 11 AM CET what time is it in EDT?
Two hours separate Pacific time from Central time, but when Pacific time is observing Daylight Savings, it means that that time zone is running one hour ahead than it would be under Pacific Standard time (PST).This means that CST is now 1 hour ahead of PDT, so the answer would be 12 noon. I believe the only time you would observe these two time zones operating under different Daylight savings modes would be when Pacific time has gone to Daylight savings (at 2am or whenever it happens), but Central time hasn't begun observing Daylight Savings yet.Daylight savings time is observed at the same time throughout the US, so the difference in time zones (PDT and CST) is still 2 hours, so it would be 1 pm CST.The North American Central Standard Time Zone is in a total of ten countries. Of the ten, the United States is the only one that almost never has an area that is in CST while the west coast is in PDT (except for 2 hrs. per year early on the 1st Sun. of Nov.).Central Standard Time (UTC - 6 hrs.) is 1 hr. ahead of Pacific Daylight Saving Time (UTC - 7 hrs.). So 1100 AM PDT = 1200 noon CST.Also...1100 AM PDT = 200 AM China Standard Time (CST)1100 AM PDT = 330 AM Central Standard Time in Australia (CST)Example: In July, when it's Monday at 11 AM PDT in California, it's Monday at 12 noon CST in Saskatchewan, Tuesday at 2 AM CST in China and Tuesday at 3:30 AM CST in South Australia.The comment in the first answer is now true regarding Cuba Standard Time. Since Cuba changed their Daylight Saving Time schedule in 2012, there is only four hours per year (05:00-09:00 UTC on the 1st Sun. of Nov.) when Pacific Daylight Saving Time and Cuba Standard Time are simultaneously in use.
How does Daylight Saving Time save energy?
Having more hours of daylight is supposed to reduce the number of hours lights are turned on each evening, but that saves no energy. It only wastes energy because Daylight Saving Time does not bring more daylight. People have to wake up to a darker sky and fiddle with electricity if they cannot see.actually daylight saving time was started during a war so there could be more light to battle in -UBERnoob1098 +++++ You are right in that it brings no more daylight. The "a war" was actually World War Two. Britain introduced what in fact we now call British Summer Time to help farmers particularly by making better use of the available daylight, but the belief grew that it made it harder for the Luftwaffe to bomb British cities. It didn't of course because the numbers of hours of light and dark do not change, only our clock reference with respect to longitude-determined solar noon. The bombers needed only to re-schedule their raids. Similarly with land and sea action - the effect of day or night on fighting was down to lengths of either, NOT to clock time. ' Its only practical use is in moving the working day so we can use the evenings more effectively, but it comes with a cost especially the further North you live. Each time the clock is moved forwards or backwards, our bodies' internal natural clocks are temporarily put out of sync with the daylight they need for normal calibration, and the clock changes are marked by a short spike in traffic and other accidents, and in heart attacks and strokes. Effectively we all suffer from something akin to "jet lag". Night-shift workers are similarly but more seriously affected. ' A peculiar myth common in Britain is that each change from GMT to BST or back gains or loses an hour in bed. It doesn't really, unless perhaps you change the clocks before going to bed, then set the alarm. If you let your body decide correctly, it will sleep and wake nocturnally and as and when physiology decides, but most of us now live to very artificial day/night arhythms that taken to sleep-deprivation extremes (common particularly among young people fixated on the Internet) are bad for us! The change is always set officially at 2am on a Sunday morning to cause the least disruption, but it's up to individuals to decide when they change their own time-pieces.

What is the time zone of Australia and new zealand?
New Zealand has two time zones: * New Zealand Standard Time: UTC+12 * Chatham Islands Standard Time: UTC+12:45 New Zealand observes Daylight Savings Time. Australia has three official time zones: * Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST): UTC+10 * Australian Central Standard Time (ACST): UTC +9:30 * Australian Western Standard Time (AWST): UTC +8 In summer the Northern Territories and Queensland do not observe Daylight Saving Time, so there are * Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEST): UTC+11 * Australian Central Daylight Time (ACST): UTC +10:30 * Australian Western Daylight Time (AWST): UTC +9 * Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST): UTC+10 * Australian Central Standard Time (ACST): UTC +9:30 There is also a small area (~200 people) in the south east of Western Australia that has an unofficial Western Central Time: UTC+8:45
