Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice that has intrigued and perplexed people around the globe. Here are 30 fascinating facts about this time-altering tradition:
Origin of the Concept: The idea of DST was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, but he proposed it humorously.
First Implementation: The first practical implementation of DST was during World War I in Germany, to save fuel by reducing the need for artificial lighting.
U.S. Adoption: The United States first adopted DST in 1918, also during World War I.
Not Globally Uniform: Not all countries observe DST. It's more common in North America and Europe.
Energy Savings Debate: While DST was originally intended to save energy, its actual effectiveness in modern times is a subject of debate.
Impact on Health: The transition into and out of DST can disrupt human circadian rhythms, affecting sleep and health.
