Daylight Saving Time ceased here over the weekend. While the phone and smart gadgets automatically adjust the time, the analog watches and clocks need to be reset manually. I've got one wall clock and 2 small clocks to adjust and...

DST Confusion

Bojel @jobelbojel (36792) • Philippines 4 Nov 18

Daylight Saving Time ends on the first Sunday in November. What is it? Savings or Saving? It is most of the erroneously called Savings Time. The idea of the DST came from Benjamin Franklin. Hmmm. I did not know that. At the...

no love for DST

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 12 Mar 18

I've never been a fan of the switch to Daylight Savings Time, but ever since was extended from March to November instead of running from April to October, the transition has been especially jarring. The Monday following the first...

Why Daylight Saving Time??

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 4 Nov 12

Who invented it?? I made a search and found out that Bejamin Franklin may have been the first who got this idea when he was working in Paris. About WW1 it was realized in grand scale, Germany was first and...

anne25penn @anne25penn (3305) • Philippines 22 Nov 11

I had forgotten that in the US, they have moved one hour forward because of DST. I called my brother and wondered why he wasn't answering. He told me that it was still early and he was still sleeping and for me to call in an hour....

Hi mylotters! I have a question regarding time / time zones, what's the meaning of EST, EDT and DST? What are their differences? What are their purposes? When do you apply it? How would I know if I have to apply the daylight...

Daylight Savings Time ended at 2:00 am this morning in the US. I'm usually cranky for the first several days after the change. Personally, I wish they would change it & leave it alone!!! Just about the time my internal clock...

coffeebreak @coffeebreak (17797) • United States 7 Mar 08

And who didn't know this? I mean, common sense tells you that it isn't all that easy! A light bulb is not the only thing that uses electricity! Good grief, it took them this long to figure it out? Wonder if the government will...

Daylight saving (or 'summer time') is pointless.

blage1 @blage1 (6) • Australia 10 Jan 08

Daylight saving is absolutely pointless, in my opinion. It gets dark at 9:00pm, when you're having a party you like the ambience of the nighttime, not a glare from the sun.

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 1 Nov 07

On Sunday, Nov. 4 here in Boston, MA we turn our clocks back one hour. Until this year we did this on the last Sunday of October. The whole idea started during WW II and our government just kept it going. I do understand that in...
