Daylight savings time began March 13, meaning we lost an hour of our precious sleep on Sunday. Many people don't know why we follow daylight savings time. They just know they don't like it!
The concept of daylight savings time began in the early 20th century. The United States adopted the idea in 1918 as "An Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time," according to Web Exhibits. Just as many people don't like the concept today, neither did people back in 1918. So it was repealed and became optional for local areas to decide.
You can imagine the confusion caused by having certain parts of the country recognize daylight savings and others not. To end this problem, the Uniform Time Act of 1966 was established to get everyone on the same page.
Now that almost all of the U.S. follows daylight savings time, the whole nation suffers together. Going to work the Monday after losing an hour of sleep is brutal. An endless supply of coffee is needed to fight off that drowsy feeling.
Many took to Twitter, sharing their frustration about daylight savings time. Click through to see how people really feel about it!
