Do you like Daylight Saving ?

Daylight savings is one of the most captivating topics in the world. Daylight savings was created to maximize sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere. When days lengthen in the spring and wane in the fall, people can add an hour of sunlight to the end of the work day. It was first implemented in the US with the Standard Time Act of 1918 and was used to conserve energy resources.

When this law was created it was effective because of the lack of resources and light. As the modern era has progressed the need for daylight savings has abated. People no longer have a need for extra daylight since the introduction of lights. The hindrance of daylight savings messes up many sleep schedules. Low sleep can cause fatal car crashes or something worse. Abolishing daylight savings is a must. It destroys schedules around the globe, forcing people to change their day to day lives. 

The use for daylight savings is gone in the eastern time zone. The want for daylight savings is also gone. We as a people need to make a stand. A revolution needs to happen. The world will become a better place once this law becomes no more. Sleep is one of the most important things in one’s life and losing sleep due to something that no longer helps anyone is detternal to everyone’s health. Daylight savings should be abolished in order to make the world a better place.
