But don't bump your head
 

wonder how the cavemen knew when to change their clocks
 

... and body.

Actually, the body can adjust to "Sun-Rise Time" (4 Seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). It is THE MIND, that gets screwed over with the "saving time" fiascoes; with time changes world-wide, we are heading towards CHAOS! But, THEN... ORDER OUT OF CHAOS!

Well these days I go to bed between 6PM & 7Pm whether there is still light out or not.
from there I get up again between Midnight & 2 AM depending on how
soon I fall asleep & how Comfortable I am under the Covers.
Winters I hate getting out being it is Body Temperature under my Covers,
And No heat in my Bedroom ever.

But Daylight never enters into my Schedule.

So all it screws up is the clock in my Truck.
I never remember how to adjust it & have to get the book out,
usually a few months late.

Nothing to do with global warming. It is becAuse it tends to be either very light in the summer or very dark in the winter, and tinkering with hours here and there is pretty pointless to the Icelanders.
 

Timeline of Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.:
1784 – The idea of daylight saving is first conceived by Benjamin Franklin.

1914-1918 – Britain goes on DLS during World War I.

March 19, 1918 – The Standard Time Act establishes time zones and daylight savings. Daylight savings is repealed in 1919, but continues to be recognized in certain areas of the U.S.

1945-1966 – There is no federal law regarding Daylight Saving Time.

1966 – The Uniform Time Act of 1966 establishes the system of uniform Daylight Saving Time throughout the U.S. The dates are the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. States can exempt themselves from participation.

1974-1975 – Congress extends DLS in order to save energy during the energy crisis.

1986-2006 – Daylight Saving Time begins on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.

August 8, 2005 – President Bush signs the Energy Policy Act of 2005 into law. Part of the act will extend Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

2007 – Under the new laws, all of Indiana now observes Daylight Saving Time, where only certain areas of the state did before.

Exceptions in the U.S.:
In the US, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not follow DLS.

The U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and American Samoa also do not observe DLS.

What countries follow Daylight Saving Time?

About 70 countries around the world observe DLS.

Many countries near the equator do not adjust their clocks for daylight saving.

Neither China nor Japan observe DLS.

Some countries refer to “Daylight Saving Time” as “Summer Time.”
