Why was daylight saving introduced?

Answer 1

Daylight Saving Time started in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between the months of April and October. During World War II the federal government again required the states to observe the time change. Between the two wars and after World War II individual states and communities chose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform time act which standardized the length of Daylight Saving Time across the nation

Answer 2

Daylight saving was introduced to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer, providing more daylight in the evening and allowing for energy savings by reducing the need for artificial lighting. It aims to make the most of natural daylight hours and minimize energy consumption.
