In the other side, there’s China that uses a _single_ time zone for the _entire country_ , causing the westernmost cities to literally get sunrise at like 9 am
And yet there are people that claim that system is so much better because businesses just need to adjust their hours. Those same people forget why time zones were created in the first place.
@@justincarroll1836 in some cases a global time would even be better, you would just need to adjust Business time everywhere.
@@nouon4220 sure it would solve a few problems, it would just also generate several hundred problems. The idea behind zoning time it to have large areas of economic cooperation able to be uniform in their schedules and thus aid logistics, time management, transportation and most importantly consistency. If I travel a few dozen miles west, I don't have to worry about businesses having a different schedule. What might be open till 8pm in my area is suddenly only open until 750 or 745 lets say. And if you'd propose only rigid hour incremental adjustments then you'd still have time zones, just defined differently and almost certainly with a negative economic impact.

I empathize with people stuck in Lubbock. Someone very close to me was trapped there a few years for work. He works in a very niche field, where jobs are few and far between. He's used to moving around and adjusting, but Lubbock was a unique level of hell. Recently, he actually transitioned to a different career path just to get out of there. And he's not alone: I'm not convinced he's met _anyone_ who legitimately *wants* to live there. Like him, his colleagues are stuck because of work and aching to pick up and leave as soon as they find another job opportunity in their field.
It is not my intention to mock the people in or from Lubbock, and if you like it there, I am happy for you. I detest snobs who think there's nothing worthwhile outside of NYC or LA, and think everyone in 'flyover states' wants to live and be like them. I certainly don't claim my small rural hometown is paradise, I poke fun at it lovingly; and faced years of teasing because of my accent. After a lifetime of bouncing from state to state, I can usually find the charms and hidden gems in different cities. Lubbock has been the sole exception.
I have considered relocating from St. Louis to Lubbock for two reasons:
1- the semi-arid climate would be great for my wife's asthma
2- It's not Midland. I have kin down there. Midland/Odessa makes Lubbock look like paradise.
Can confirm. I’m from DFW, living in Lubbock, tied down here because of my job, looking for the first opportunity to go back to DFW
This could be easily fixed if works and schools started at a humanly hour like 9, instead of 7.
but they don't

i study from 9. 9 is not humanly at all, it should start from 11 or at least 10

They need miniature fusion reactors to properly emulate the sun though.
I love how HaI just immediately assumes everyone is waking up at exactly the same time as sunrise on the easter edge of their timezones, not accounting for shifts, different working hours, or the fact people have to shower, eat breakfast, and commute before they begin work.
There is also the summer-winter difference.
In Summer, dawn begins at 4am and in winter at 8am.

Doesn't matter whether you are to the left or the right of a timezone, most of the people I know would wake up prior to sunrise no matter the timezone due to work. It'd be kinda crazy to me to be able to get up at or after sunrise as I've simply not done it. Be it waking up for school as a kid or waking up for work as an adult, I've always rose before the sun.

Fun fact, the map shown at 3:43 is only accurate for half the year. The Canadian province of Saskatchewan (the rectangle jutting out on the western edge of the central time zone in Canada) never changes time at daylight savings time, meaning that for half of the year it is on Central time and half the year it is on Mountain time. Or as regionally referred, it always remains on "Saskatchewan time".

You see, in the modern age. There's another problem living on the very edge of a time zone. I used to live in a small town in Indiana, about 1 mile east of the Indiana/Illinois state line. Illinois is on CST, and Indiana is on EST (for the most part). I worked in a small little brick and mortar with people from both time zones. The big issue though, was cellphones. See, this is rural area I'm talking about. And sometimes things happen. So if the cell tower closest to you on the Indiana side of the Wabash River decides to go on the fritz phones like to pick the tower *on the other side* of the river in Illinois..those towers, are on CST. If you have your phone set to auto-sync the time, and you have an alarm set for 8 AM in your phone and this happens...well...now you're an hour late for work and there's nothing you can do about it. Gotta love technology.
I mean you could’ve gotten an alarm clock or a watch? Or am I missing something? lol
I've noticed this when I travel on Amtrak from Ann Arbor to Chicago. When crossing from Michigan (EST) into NW IN (northwest Indiana is the only part of the state on CST), I've noticed that my phone either changes time before or after I cross the state line, but seldom at the exact point.
@@seanskoog388 I live in the Ann Arbor area now lol
So somewhere between Terre Haute and Vincennes, then? I feel your pain. When I lived out that way, the radio stations in Vincennes used to announce what time it was in both time zones at the top of the hour.
@@actionsubI was just about to assume somewhere in the vicinity of Terre Haute, mainly because I lived the time of my best mental health in Paris, just on the Illinois side of the line. There is a lot of decay in that region, mainly because Indiana is not ruled from one Democrat stronghold, and it is very easy to hop the state line.

I wake up at 6 30 my bus leaves at 7 I reach school at 8 then my school ends at 4 and I’m back home at 5
Also, in Spain we've got the central european time zone, yet our "sun time" is the same as in the UK. The sun seems wack when you see the clock
I used tho think you did everything late (having dinner, sleeping...) But it just makes sense because the sun sets later over there.
Your days are a lot longer than ours in winter at least
the 15th june the sun will rise at 4:39AM in my city lmao
Same in Benelux, we actually live in the UK time zone, but we are in the European. Then we also got summer time which sets the clock 1 hour back. They even want permanent summer time.
Yeah, I was just going to point Spain out, don't we have that thanks to Franco wanting to be on German time or something? Pretty sure they talk about fixing it sometimes but not sure that they will

I live on the very left end of the Eastern Time Zone and it's actually kind of nice. In winter the sun sets at around 5:45PM, but just 10 or so miles to my west, the people in Illinois have to deal with the sun going down at 4:45. Kids there in bigger cities might not even get home for school before dark. I would not be able to live like that.
This is why living on the west end is better, who cares about late sunrises when sun gets down at 4?
I have lived on both "sides" of a time zone, and I actually like living on the western part of a time zone better. On the eastern edge, it's so depressing that it gets dark before the end of a 9-5 workday.
In the USA, I like the Central Time zone the best.
Polar opposite of me. I'm only happy if it's dark for most of my day and I pretty much can't stop myself from reverting back to waking up at night times. Sometimes I feel like I should just fricken live in the Arctic.

Welcome to northern canada, europe and asia. The sun doesn't go down enough at summer leading to sleeplessness. The sun then overcompensates by not rising/rising too little at wintertime leading to you being tired at work because the 4 hoursnof sunlight were spent at the office and you get to go to work in the dark and return in the dark.
The high variation of sun-time in the far North DOES mess people up. I was in Inuvik, Northwest Territories in summer 1986, and I could look due north at 2:30 in the morning and see the sun shining. More telling was that I was seeing 3-year-old kids outdoors playing at that impossible hour.

Western France for me (Toulouse)
Actually Spain is worse than France.
When I took Spanish in college, our teacher told the class that people in Spain take a nap in the early afternoon, and eat a big dinner at about 11:30 p.m. (2330).
I thought the exact same thing
Does seem weird Spain and Portugal are an hour apart. By any normal definition they should be in GMT. Logically France should be in GMT, but I think Napoleon decided to make them an hour ahead just to be different!
@@rogink Well normally France and Spain should be on UTC and Portugal on UTC-1 and it was the case between 1911 (when French time turned back by 9 minutes from the Paris' time, the official time since 1891, to GMT) and 1940.
Summer time (at UTC+1) was created in 1923.
In 1940, the Germans changed the time of the part of France the got, so France was divided in 2 time zones, causing huge difficulties mainly for trains. The French government decided to change the time of the rest of France to this of Germany.
At the end of the war, De Gaulle decided to move back to the former time in 2 steps but after the first step (from UTC+2, German summer time, to UTC+1), the plan was abandoned. So France stayed at UTC+1 without changing during summer until 1975.
In 1975, after the oil shock, they decided to set back the summer time (at UTC+2).
One little thing changed in 1996 : the switch between summer time and winter time was moved from the last Sunday of September to the last Sunday of October.

“Clean, uniform hour increments”
Newfoundland: am I a joke to you?
Afghanistan too. (UTC+4:30) FYI: If you cross the border into China it is a difference of 3 and a half hours.
The Chatham Islands in New Zealand has its own time zone and is 45 minutes ahead of the rest of the country (except when the rest of the country is on daylight saving, then the Chathams are 15 minutes behind the rest of the country)
Yes.
It doesn't help that I live on the right side of a time zone, it's dark all the time anyways.

This is one of those times where the "facts" aren't exactly accurate. While yes, getting up with the sun is easier than in the dark, due to other social norms/civilization we already deal with lots of variance in the sun's position when waking. It's called the changing of the seasons. Using Lubbock as an example, in the winter there's ten hours of sunlight, but in the summer there's over 14. As you go north there's even bigger differences. Washington DC changes from only 9.5 hours to almost 15.
i'm pretty sure some cities in alaska can have no sun for a whole season
@@SoI- the cities in Alaska will get at least some sun ≈6-7hrs in the winter, there are a few villages of mostly natives above the arctic circle that don’t get sun at all. Alaska is so massive though
Try Stockholm, 6 hours of daylight in winter and over 18 in summer (at most)
The fuck? You realize most humans don't live in the temperate zone? Most humans have never heard o seasons. The only seasons most people know are wet season and dry season. Aka flood season and drought season.
@@hainleysimpson1507 You do realize southern China, southern Japan and northern India are all considered "temperate zones", right? Add in practically all of western Europe, the Deep South and most of the US' coastline, the South American plateaus, the Australian coastline... You're looking at a rather mighty percentage of the world's population. The only continent that doesn't have major population centres in its temperate zones is Africa.

“Towns set their clocks to noon O’clock”
69th like. 👍
As much as this video is very nicely done, it is also very misleading as it only focuses on one aspect of the matter while completely ignoring the rest of the picture:
1. Earlier sunrise also means earlier sunset. People who wake up and start their day later after the sunrise are affected by less daylight exposure and may experience severe health effects, such as mood disorders. For them, being on the left side of the time zone is actually beneficial.
2. The difference between summer and winter sunrise/sunrise times increases with latitude. In some areas of current time zones, early sunrises in summer can actually be more of a problem than late sunrises in winter - and this will happen on the right side of the time zone.
3. Some countries (e.g. the entire European Union) use Daylight Saving Time which additionally disrupts people's circadian rhythms twice a year. Now, this can be tiring both for early birds and night owls.
4. Daily rhythms within the human population differ: about 25% are early birds while 25% are night owls. The morning fatigue is to a large extent the effect of adjusting the school and working time to the early birds.
There is no simple solution, so please don't present it this way.
As someone who lives in Belarus, THANK GOD we dont do winter daylight destruction shit anymore because this way the sun would set at 3:45 pm. It does rise at 9:30 am, but its much better than early sunsets, even if we switched clocks an hour back it would be still dark in the morning so whats the point of it
Let's be honest. Your boss is the one killing you. He is the reason you have to wake up while it's still dark
No-one forces you to work for said boss. God bless capitalism and the freedom to choose your employer :)
Yeah, the real culprit here is not just timezones but also modern standardized working days. I would be much more effective if all of the things I needed to do happened an hour later, especially in winter

@@Alinor24 I'm a brit living in northern Norway, and yes the lack of daylight can make you tired, which is why it's important to eat healthily and get physical exercise.
@@Pining_for_the_fjords which part of norway? Can you see auroras during the night?
@@Beartic. A small village called Olsborg, about 100km south of Tromsø. Yes you can sometimes see the aurora when it's dark and the sky is clear.

@@anotheraggieburneraccount me too! It was trash
I highly disagree with this video, living in Chicago on the east edge of the central time zone literally brings out "seasonal depression" because in winter it is pitch black at 4:30pm while most people are still working leaving absolutely 0 minutes of daylight to enjoy once off work whereas if it was dark in the morning, nobody cares because you will get to enjoy the daylight after work
Chicago has more light in the morning on the clock
Left side of a time zone has more light in the evening on the clock
When you live in Chattanooga, which is literally right on the border of the Eastern and Central time zones and the mountains west of the city block out the sun for a few minutes before it actually sets, making it even more dark and depressing
f
Yeah but if you live just on the Jasper side, for half the year by the time you get off of work it's already dark. One of the things I love about Chattanooga is being this far to the left of the time zone. At least we can still get some sunlight after work, even in winter. Beats being stuck in the office for the entire duration of daylight for half the year.
Upside compared to Lubbock, you can at least be proud to be Samuel L Jackson hometown
I live on Missionary Ridge, facing toward the ridge. I might get 4 hours of sunlight facing me.
I'm directly north of you, kind of the same thing but fewer mountains.
Jokes on you, my timezone isn't even accurate to my geographical location (thx germany for changing it)
Yea don’t even ask about why, when I live in Singapore, (UTC+8) can take a ferry to Batam, Indonesia (UTC+7) and they are 40km apart.
Also for your case, China does it one step up with UTC+8 throughout the country. Great if you live in Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou, not so much in Western China. You can already see the effects in Chongqing or Chengdu, where sunset can happen early by about an hour, but go to Xinjiang and you’ll see a vast difference in time.
Argentina timezone looks like a joke lmfao
Bitte schön :)
Wheeze
Same here. The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Spain should be in the same timezone as England. And now the Germans want to impose a permanent DST as well, that's a shift of two hours of what we should have. Thanks again, Germany..
China: Uhh, yup, didn't hear that, nope.
This timezone split happens in Australia. In the northern parts you get up with the sun all year round (for the most part), and for the more southern parts, for example Melbourne you get up in the dark most of the year - for a wake up time of 7.30am. My personal experience is that an early rising sun can greatly impact the start of your day, especially since it helps warm the day up earlier!
Is it because of daylight saving time, greater seasonal differences in more extreme latitudes, or both? Or could it be because of the longitudes of the cities? As Melbourne is more western than Brisbane, for example. Yet it has the same time zone in the winter, and an earlier one in summer. So of course its solar time is going to be later relative to its official time than in the case of Brisbane.
What would is having reduced business hours during winter time eg 10am to 4pm instead of 9am to 5pm. So in winter everyone starts 1 hour later and gets home 1 hour earlier. It certainly would make the Victorian winter less depressing.
"...you'll still be in Lubbock." Truer words have never been spoken.
which honestly would still be a better place to be than most of the world.
Dude that intro was deadly accurate. 1/4 of my paycheque goes to paying for alarm clocks
Very good. I did my own experiment a few months ago proving to myself that high noon, when the sun was directly overhead, was Not at 12:00. In fact, I think I’ll repeat it. (Somewhat near the left side being in Tampa area).
And I think the railroads led the charge for time zones.
Where tf do you live there’s only 3 timezone in the US I don’t think... it’s the railroad 💀

Yes, congratulations, you understood the joke
This video taught me that I live on the very eastern (or right) side of my time zone, so apparently I have no reason for struggling to get up.
Your find because you have an early sunrise and sunset which is good for you. But having later sunrise and later sunset is bad for you.
Half as interesting: Now towns are separated by clean, family friendly hour increments.
Newfoundland: Laughs every 1/2 hour!
This assumes a lot of things. One, that one gets up while it's still dark. Two, that you don 't take advantage of the hour later that the sun is still up. I'm a "night owl", and so I'd be quite content to live near the western edge ("left edge" is misleading) of a time zone. I'm actually nearer the eastern edge of my local timezone, and I'd rather it be the other way around. I'd rather not have that sun while I'd still like to sleep.
Trust me, you do wake up when it’s still dark for most people. For Normal job times, it’s dead dark waking up and it can often just be as dark driving to work. Coming back, it’s still pretty much terrible because no one cares if it’s daytime in the afternoon since this only matters in the winter time and you’re already inside anyways to avoid the cold.
well, lucky you that can wake up at an hour you want to wake up, but most people HAVE to wake up while it's still night to go to their jobs or school at an hour that shouldn't be legal
Just come to Iceland the sun is up all summer and down all winter, spring and autumn are the only time we even have day/night cycles. (not really but still semi)
@@paula-lagos-gatografias Alaskans have to have it dark all winter. How do they live???
I live in a western part of the Eastern (US) time zone that rightly belongs in the Central time zone. I hate the shock of bright light in the morning, whether or not I have to get up, so I love the late sunrise.
I work 10pm-7am, my cave woman clock looks like a Dali painting.
Night shift is one of the most unnatural inventions humanity has ever created. I take night shift overtime sometimes and man, it feels weird.
Me who is watching this while working a double after having worked all third shift: ah yes my circadian rhythm commonly syncs up with the drops in your average dubstep track.
Had the pleasure of living 78°N (Svalbard) for some time and trust me... it's 2 years that I moved back, talked to god knows how many experts but my circadian rhythm was, and still is, totally screwed. Like wake up at 11am and go bed at 4pm kind of screwed, without counting the sleepless nights especially during the summer.
amazing pfp
Just a person in your comment section Sure, it's a marshmallow... Right?
I guess you haven't heard about "North" and "South." Your distance from the equator also has an effect on when the sun rises and sets.
east and west have a much larger (and permanent) impact on sunrise and sunset times

So folks in Singapore are getting 6.5 hours more of sunlight. Sunrise in Nome is 4 hours and 10 minutes later than in Singapore. In China, which has a huge single time zone for the whole country, the difference between the easternmost and westernmost areas are only about 3.5 hours different right now. Most countries/regions do not have a time zone anywhere near that wide. So, no, you're wrong.

For Singapore, not much change. So in summer, the days are much longer in Nome. So it seems that a difference in latitude really changes sun/night cycles. Any kind of standardized timekeeping is going to cause distortions of one kind or another. However, since most time zones are relatively narrow, the East-West issue is much less an issue than North-South, which is what I said.

maybe this should be slightly changed to why being in high school makes you more likely to die because you have to wake up early
I hated 11th and 12th grades because our school was overcrowded so they did split sessions, classes started at 7AM which meant getting up at 5:30. Yeah, they ended at 12 noon, but by then all you feel like doing is going home to sleep.
I just wake up when I feel like it. but no matter how much sleep I get, it NEVER recharges me, I'm allways bloody exhausted when I wake up.
