Clock reset, but wonderful!
We’ve lived again and are beyond a clock shift, many are annoyed by it, and others also physically understand playing with time.
We’ve switched to daylight saving time, which means we’ve reset the clock by one hour relative to the local time zone. We restore it in the fall, and this timekeeping plays with the nervous system of many.
The first changeover to daylight saving time was proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, then a good deal of time passed unchanged, and then the idea was realized in 1916. The first clock changeover was introduced in Hungary at that time as well, and it was maintained only with minor omissions.
The idea of a clock changeover really gained importance when they were driven to save by the 1973 oil crisis. By switching the clock, they hoped to save energy and wanted to gain an extra hour of light for companies and households.
In Hungary, therefore, the clock reset existed from the beginning, but it was paused. However, in 1980, in order to save energy, it was again decided to introduce clock advance in the spring and to adjust it to the original time zone in the fall. So twice a year, our body and brain need to get used to the changes around the clock.
Everyone is experiencing that the days begin to lengthen in the spring and become shorter in the fall. The beginning of the equinox is March 21 and until the end, i.e. September 23, the days are longer and then getting shorter. The time to reset the clock was timed so that people could enjoy as much sunlight as possible, meaning they would consume less electricity by turning on lights.
More and more people are skeptical about the benefits of this annual timekeeping, but even if we don’t spare our wallets, it affects our organization. According to reports, the number of accidents and even crimes may increase due to winter time, ie when the clock is reset. Lighting in workplaces is an additional cost, as is lighting in public areas.
The shift to daylight saving time has caused chaos in America, and especially in the public transportation schedule. In some American states, they were free to choose which time of day (summer or winter) to choose, of course the cavalcade was large.
