Who made daylight savings?

Ben Franklin was the first to propose to save the use of candles by getting up earlier in the morning to make use of sunlight, but the US did not implement Daylight Saving Time until WWI. It was to help conserve energy resources for the war. The schedule for DST has changed many times in the US. The last change was made in 2007.


Why is daylight savings change not always on same date?

Clocks are moved forward for daylight savings so that people can enjoy the nicer summer weather. It really isn't a change in the sun or Earth, but just a way for everyone to get up earlier in the summer so that they have a longer time before the sun goes down. The length of daylight in the summer is also longer of course, but that is related to the tilt of the Earth's axis and not related to daylight savings.


What year did Alberta first observe Daylight Savings Time?

What was the goal of creating a year-long daylight savings time during the oil embargo?

The goal of implementing a year-long daylight savings time during the oil embargo was to conserve energy.

This was seen as a way to alleviate the impact of the oil shortage during the embargo.

Why have daylight savings time when all it does is cause unnatural stress when you lose an hour?

Daylight Savings Time was designed to "capture" early morning hours of daylight by moving them into the work day and afternoon. In this way, people on a fixed hourly schedule would not have to adjust their work times to take advantage of an earlier sunrise. It is done automatically by adding an hour when the local sunrise is between 6 and 6:30 AM.
