TL;DR Summary

Daylight saving time, the practice of moving clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall, has a history spanning over a century, driven by world wars, confusion, and a desire for more sunlight. The idea was proposed by George Vernon Hudson in the 1890s and gained traction during World War I and II. Despite debate and confusion, about 70 countries currently observe daylight saving time. The practice has led to inconsistencies and confusion, prompting the U.S. Congress to pass the Uniform Time Act in 1966. While there are debates about the necessity of changing clocks, some regions, like Thunder Bay, Canada, enjoy the benefits of longer summer days due to daylight saving time.
