Daylight Saving Time ends in 2020 at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, marking the time when clocks “fall back” and we gain an extra hour of sleep.
Daylight Saving Time, often incorrectly referred to in the plural as Daylight Savings Time, started in 2020 on Sunday, March 8. I have been known to make this error…
What I did not know is that Daylight Saving Time is the law in the US.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966, Pub.L. 89–387, 80 Stat. 107, enacted April 13, 1966, was a Law of the United States to “promote the adoption and observance of uniform time within the standard time zones” prescribed by the Standard Time Act of 1918. Its intended effect was to simplify the official pattern of where and when daylight saving time (DST) is applied within the U.S. Prior to this law, each state had its own scheme for when DST would begin and end, and in some cases, which parts of the state should use it.
While I feel DST is obsolete, since we are no longer an agrarian society, so it is a worthless act for us to still endure.
