Daylight Saving Time (DST) was implemented in America during World War I as a way to conserve energy by making better use of daylight in the evenings. The idea was to reduce the need for artificial lighting and save fuel for the war effort. It was reintroduced during World War II and has since been adopted in various forms, primarily to extend daylight hours for outdoor activities and boost economic productivity. The practice has been met with both support and criticism regarding its effectiveness and impact on health.
