I'm against daylight savings time. The detrimental effects on my health from changing my sleep patterns by far outweighs any benefit that I get from the little bit of light after work. We need to stop this…
Mmmm....good point.
If 40mins less of sleep causes detrimental effects to your health then go to the doctor
Bros gotta be 95 years old to have this as his main problem
They just changed it
You're ridiculous. It's only 40 mins. Better to get more sun out of the day. Cry baby
There was way more negative effects than positive in this.
+Justin Ellis all the negatives are with the change and the positives are with the actual time change, so we should "spring ahead" in the spring, but then leave it there.
+Jack Millspaugh You'd be in wrong time zone for one thing .
name me one positive
Kawartha Cubs If they would stay on standard time they would get more hours. But they think they are getting more this way.Crazy.Now if they would stay on standard time and go out early they would get an extra hour if they extend the time they are out to another hour then it would be later. But the way they think it is an hour earlier. Not later.
iw ould rather we just stay on daylight saving year round too dark too early in the winter
Daylight saving time. AKA The dumbest thing ever.
lol
Youthoob Gamer it doesn't do any good. They think they are getting more daylight.
@Youthoob Gamer i rather have the summer time which is 1 hour ahead rather than change it backwards and just leave it that way.
How is daylight savings time saving any light? It still gets dark. The only thing is you just save one hour of daylight by added it to the end of the day, but no light is save after it becomes night.
Honestly
DST is like cutting off the top of your blanket and then sewing on the bottom.
True
instead of shifting time by an hour, shift businesses and schools an hour, have them start later and end later instead with a different time to fit the season
Impossible.
this is how its done in india
@@TheSultan1470 that's about reasonable as expecting Congress to come up with a good solution... impossible.
@@JGott0001 You'll just complain more
@@TheSultan1470 wait, were we both being sarcastic about schools and businesses changing their times or not? Which team am I on? 😂
Get rid of it
Levi Howell IKR people forget why it was there in the first place and in the modern world we don't need it
I don't even observe it.
I think is communism too.
I don't get at all. if you want more sunlight , just wake early.
why change the clock when you can get up early?
Hate it when I lose an hour.
Love it when I gain an hour.
I wish there was a way to keep the hour without losing the daylight.
@@josephclegg3562 u could just not change your clock
@@kazumakobayashi7841 well then we would be on the wrong time half the year seeing how it's connected to how the earth rotates the sun
@takcci I agree! yeah I like when we gain an hour of sleep to have more sunlight early in the morning, good for our body health.
Yeah because changing the clocks back means you start your day later
1pm 2pm 3pm
12pm 1pm 2pm
Changing the clocks forward means you start your day earlier
1pm 2pm 3pm
2pm 3pm 4pm
It’s doesn’t give more daylight
If you think losing 40 minutes of sleep is sleep deprivation, then you’re lucky
For real!
Oh please 🙄
Yea this was a drag for sure
Ahh the American dream
This whole time I thought it was for farming....
Duh
i no right
+Daniel Mtanous why'd u think that
+Daniel Mtanous If you watch the video she states it's for the economy, but growing up I heard it was so farmers can work in the daylight.
+Daniel Mtanous you'd think they work by daylight and not wait for the clock though
This did not explain the purpose of it... kind of useless.... smh
They think they are getting more daylight when actually they just getting an hour earlier by running up the clock.
They don't understand that the sun is out longer during the summer hours anyway without running up, but as you know they do it anyway.😂
That's because we get closer or farther away from the sun throughout the year which is daylight saving I always understood why this was a thing
@@shellyblanchard5788 ikr
Daylight saving Time is obsolete now that we have electricity LMAO 🤣
Standard time. Leave it the way it was made
More time to buy stuff you don't need...Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
George Hudson, a British labor union leader, invented day light saving time to give more light hours for factory workers to enjoy recreation. After WWI this idea spread throughout the world.
He was an idiot
I'm sick and tired of this time change .
We don't observe daylight saving time in Arizona because it serves no useful purpose. An Apache Chief once told me that DST is the same as cutting off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end to make it longer...... LOL
I wish that Daylight saving time was no more!!! Make the insanity stop and stop allowing businesses to control human behaviors especially sleep.
agree! like it's so annoying changing clocks back, and forth, back, and forth!
@@chichaiwahkap1340 Big deal, it's just twice in a year
@@TheSultan1470 the changes actually have ill side effects on the human body and brain
It should be the opposite... spring back, fall ahead, or just fall ahead, then you would actually see more hours of daylight... It's like everyone is caveman
STANDARD TIME IS THE REAL TIME
watching this to understand the time in an rpg LMAO
Nice to know about the daylight savings and how it works. It really interests me.
We won’t need the time changed anymore in November at all. We will actually be needing the bill especially like the Sunshine Protection Act to be passed more quickly before November arrives and there is no reason for the government to mimic us.
thanks ; augment reality
I literarily use Daylight Saving Time for the whole year. I live in Eastern Time zone in North America and I set all my clocks at UT-4 year round.
WHY?! We should be in UTC -5 year round in the Eastern Time Zone.
Honestly I'm more of an evening person so this doesn't apply to me much... I just don't see the point of DST cuz it doesn't save energy. It takes me about a week to get used to the spring ahead an hour like this week lol.
Keep DST ALL year! Get the benefits of evening sun with out "falling back" and never "Spring Forward"
pf1030 the result of DST in the winter will be that you will wake up in the morning and it will be dark. So it is not a good idea and we better stay on standard time.
Efraim Eli right. It dark earlier in the winter. That is why they end it in November. It would be dark if they ran it up or not.
It would be dark at 6:00 am in the winter which would be 5:00 am. Right now it gets dark at 5:00 pm. It is a natural occurrence with the seasons.
If you kept the time on Daylight Saving Time the whole year around in some of the far north or far south countries of the world it wouldn't become daylight until about 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning during the Winter Solstice. A smart idea? I think not.
@@darrenmiles-morland8038 You can't get them understand that. They run the clock up in the spring to get more what they is day light, when actually they are just getting up earlier. I don't go by it because it is a waste of time. They change their clocks here. After they change back the body goes back to it's regular routine.
All they do is change the times zones to a different location. I think it is silly why some dst all year round. Who wants to get up in the dark? Running the clock up would not give them more day light in the winter.
Once we spring forward we stay lock in
So you lose 40mins of sleep one night and it's a disaster? I lose that on a regular basis due to things out of my control.
I for one love DST, as in summer it's so nice having the sun out till 8 or 9pm on those warm nights
You wouldn't love it if you lived in the desert Southwest!
Denys A ikr I rather standard
Your clock is lying to you.
Really it is not out that long unless you live in a different time zone. 😁
I know the idea of having later sunsets sounds like a good thing, but over time it could be very disastrous.
feels like real life back to the future.
I never understood why we don't just keep it ahead. UK had the right idea. Also, awesome to see you on UA-cam!
Changing the clocks makes better use of the sun
Rather than waking up in dark especially in the winter
Or east daylight during the summer while everyone is asleep
It throws our circadian rhythms out of sync with the sun. Try getting up an hour earlier in the dead of winter, then get back to us on how much better year round DST is!
The only ones who benefits from this are the stores
An easy fix is to have permanent daylight saving and move the clock ahead by 1-2 hours depending on latitude.
Just change the school and office timing. What jerks are you guys
Hate it, and I'm retired.
Instead of making everyone live on unnatural time, adjust the hours you do business. It's all about business after all and nothing else. Either that, or spring us ahead and leave it there and stop this back and forth BS.
it is unnatural and it has deleterious effects on the human body and brain
We need to end this stupid hour changing thing. How dumb are we? We are so pathetic we can't even end it.
When Daylight 🏙️💡 Saving Time ⏱️ ends 🔚, we set our clocks 🕰️ back 🔙 1 hour ⌛️ in the fall 🍂 & have lighter 💡 mornings 🌄 & darker evenings 🌃.
I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WE MOVE ONE HOUR AHEAD , THERE IS NO GAIN IREGARDLESS OF WHO CAME UP WITH IT IS A PAIN TIME DOES NOT CHANGE THE SUN STARTS TO SHINE WHEN IT WANTS TO AND THEN AS THE WORLD TURNS IT SETS AND ITIS DARK AGAIN MOVING CLOCKS AHEAD DOES NOT CHANGE THE PHYSICS OF THIS SO WHY LOSE SLEEP OVER THIS ONE TIME THE WORLD OVER !!!!
Changing clocks 1 hour forward
1 hour Later sunrise and sunset
More light in the evening according to the clock
In Japan we didn’t have daylight savings time. It is very confusing and needs to be figured into business calls. Better to do business with countries with the intelligence to refuse this antiquated agrarian system of time.
Daylight savings in spring makes me sleep in 1 hour
As a creature of habit, I am resistant to the time change. 100% negative for my preference =o/
Just remember that less than half the world does DST and you live in one of the counties that does it
I'm in the UK, I think we should use DST all year.
More people will find that hour of daylight helpful at 6pm in the winter rather than having it at 8am instead.
i don't care what time they pick just pick one and leave it alone
True but daylight saving time doesn’t create more daylight but we wake up and start everything 1 hour early
Just stay at daylight saving time forever. No on cares about winter, too cold to go out anyway.
My favorite part of the video is when she nods, twinks and says "economics" at 1:39
The problem is nobody prepares for either change. We need to start getting to bed earlier and I’m a night owl!
this is making me sleepy
My childhood use to think daylight savings was something like the earth slows down a day or freezes etc when it turned out its just clock set forward or backwards which still makes me dont get why we care..
Well is good because my daughter has to go on the bus school and is dark and sometimes cars dont see the kids they may get hit. I cant wait for Nov 1
I think we should just leave the clocks alone. Whether it's permanent standard tine or permanent daylight saving time, I don't really care. I just want it to end.
Who else thinks the spring times is better
Daylight Savings Time is not all that bad. It could be worse. It could have been decided to move the hour up two instead of one.
Most people doesn't here doesn't care. One reason is because they are up all hours of the night anyway. Policemen have to be on patrol 24 -7, so how does it benefit them. It is crazy.
Government doesn't tell me what my clock says. If we the people refuse to do what Gubberment says and DO NOT turn our clocks forward or backward, then the gubberment has to follow suit. There are more of we the people then senators and representatives never forget that.
The closer to the pole you are the more the benefits of daylight savings.
Who wants to move to colder climate just for that?
Love daylight saving
You wouldn't in winter time you'd be getting up in the dark. 😊 The days are even shorter in winter. That is DST does in summer cut an hour off.
We done change time we change the timings
People keep talking about making it permanent, but we're still changing our clocks.
I actually don't care, and hope it doesn't become permanent. (the same with standard time becoming permanent, which most people would prefer)
Where I live, this is what things are like now.

I don't know about the evenings, but 4:58 is too early for sunrise, imo.
I say stick to changing our clocks, even if it's a hassle. It's the only way to get the right amount of daylight in the mornings all year round. The only part of the world that shouldn't have to worry about that is everywhere closest to the equator.
it was to take advantage of of the length of daylight hours for farmers
I still am not understanding how "setting the clock forward" 'or "backward" makes the sun either stay an hour longer or go away an hour faster. I recognize a regular day to be when it starts to get dark outside around 8pm. How is the sun disappearing earlier than usual? I don't get it! & what national clock are we simultaneously using to "set time" with here? Someone explain!
I never set my clock ahead for summer I like winter and how the time how it is in winter and time isn't really important to be to do anything so I dont follow daylight savings
That’s Good because your starting your day later than everyone else and it’s good for your health
So you don’t get up in the dark mornings
Getting up in the dark is tough
Tip: Before sleeping to DST, make sure to forward your alarm 1 hour ahead. EASY!
I’d rather just stay on daylight saving time year around
Without a doubt, I live in ky, and for the people who live in Tennessee are an hour behind. If they go to standard year around, it would get dark at like 730pm in tenn and the way it is now, it gets dark like 930 in the summer
1:40
*the way i rolled my eyes* each the rich jfc
What a degenerate comment. Why do you still exist?
I SUPPORT DAYLIGHT SAVING DAY BECAUSE WE SAVE ENERGY ,AND WE GET LIGHT FROM THE SUN!!!
We don’t save energy. That is a lie.
Where do save energy? Do you stay out side till dark? 😂
@LegoGuy87 It is just to get you up an hour early for nothing😐
Where is the saving. It doesn't get you anymore sunlight than before.
I get light from a lamp after it gets dark. 😁
Trouble is not ever one gets the same amount of sun around the world because of the way the earth is positioned in space.
I never knew what DAY was until this video

Omg it’s ONE DAY WITHOUT AN HOUR OF SLEEP it’s not that big of a deal
Jesus christ, let's get rid of the damn thing! it's simply not needed!
Imagine when you cant go to bed 1 hour early to complain about loss of sleep the next morning. DST was solution to earth geographic attribute called Lattitude.
Also when you gain one hour more sleep makes you super human??
Isn’t move back to have more daylight in the morning not night?
How does Nat Geo ignore the natural shift in daylight received by most of the Earth?? It’s the primary reason for adjusting our clocks
when they were doing this "study" had they conducted similar studies after any event like a movie award show or a football game?

Where did you get those false facts? I looked some of them up and even on National Geographic website some of the facts are way different.
All this video, still didn't understand what was its need
It helps with global warmin. :-) :-) :-)
November 6, 2016 will change fall clocks back for 1 hour.
That teen titans episode explained it better

against DST
Huh? It makes the sun go down EARLIER in the winter, so your "benefit" makes no sense.
Please, no more daylight saving time!!!
Why would you set the clocks back an hour in fall? so stupid that in winter the sun sets at 4:30 :/
Sun sets at 3:45 in the winter here in the UK
I don't get it. So there's more daylight during a normal work day in the spring (resulting in people shopping more), but there's LESS daylight in the winter (so less shopping).
Why not just keep it all even?
I think they know the hours of daylight are exended without running it up in the summer. They take an hour off the day with DST not adding to it.
Thirty min in the middle and leave the dam thing alone
My school starts at 7 30 am and I don’t want to go to school when the sun is barely peeking out it starts tonight and I hate it so much please help end this practice
When u live in az but ur watching a vid about it
Come to Arizona, we don’t abide by the sun as it’s plentiful. Only the sand in the glass amigos.
This is ridiculous, how’s this still a thing????
so when is it this fall
When in march 2022 what date??????????
Hi
But Why you want to make fool your body clock by changing clock time? You should change your body clock by early awakeup and sleep and shift entire day stuffs early...
It was jun 22 on the morning
It was jun 23 on the night
Does any other species on the planet do this? This was the stupidest idea ever.
No I refuse my clocks stay ahead
