Daylight Savings

If you have little kids, there's absolutely nothing cool about daylight saving time. Here, the funny parents of Twitter commiserate.

All we hear is the sound of our cranky kids … and our jaws cracking when we yawn. The people who don’t want to abolish Daylight Savings Time can come take care of my sleep-deprived kids today. Or why it’s even still a thing. — Brian (@brian_jenks)March 13, 2022 What is reality? Daylight Saving Time after kids: Dear god, what is time?

Willett’s Daylight Saving plan caught the attention of Robert Pearce, a British Member of Parliament, and he introduced a bill to the House of Commons in February 1908. The beginning and end dates vary from one country to another. In a letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris, entitled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light,” Franklin simply suggested that Parisians could economize candle usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning. Although modern DST has only been used for about 100 years, ancient civilizations are known to have engaged in comparable practices thousands of years ago. According to the April 3, 1916, edition of the Manitoba Free Press, Daylight Saving Time in Regina “proved so popular that bylaw now brings it into effect automatically.” It is not known if he was aware that his idea had become a reality seven years before his death in a small town in Ontario. On April 23, 1914, Regina in Saskatchewan implemented DST. The cities of Winnipeg and Brandon in Manitoba did so on April 24, 1916. While Germany and Austria were the first countries to use DST in 1916, it is a little-known fact that a few hundred Canadians beat the German Empire by eight years. However, the idea did not catch on globally until Germany introduced DST in 1916. Within a few weeks, the United Kingdom, France, and many other countries followed the idea. The first Daylight Saving Bill was drafted in 1909, presented to Parliament several times, and examined by a select committee. Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.
