Dieno says his goal is to reach 10,000 signatures and take the petition to the B.C. government. Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday.
Across the world, more than 70 countries also change the clocks during their summer months, and in Europe this period is called “Summer Time”. It felt as though the darkness of winter descended on that very day – the depressing feeling when you pick up your kids from sports practice in the afternoon, or leave your office, and it’s already dark.
If you put your child to bed at their normal time, technically they might wake up at their normal time in the morning, (even though by the clock it’s an hour earlier).
It was proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 but not widely adopted until the early 20 Century.
Here’s a few background information about Daylight Saving Time, a system to reduce electricity usage by extending daylight hours. Most of the U.S observes DST, except for Hawaii and most of Arizona, as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam.
The 200 pages of strong “balance sheet of daylight saving time” of the Office of technology assessment of the Bundestag revealed “that human adaptation itself four weeks after the clock change only incomplete or not working at all”.
Luckily for Dieno, he was allowed to re-write his exam, but the question about the usefulness and repercussions of the biannual time change has stuck with him ever since.
Daylight Savings is actually an incorrect way of referring to the time of year. In 2005, he signed the Energy Policy Act that started DST on the first Sunday in November. “Many of these issues are related to sleep pattern change that the biennial shift mandates”, he says. The thought that moving the time back an hour to save on candles was supported by in Englishman William Willett 1907.
That way they’ll be ready to gain an hour of sleep that night.

Why do we observe Daylight Saving Time? Non-attendance of appointments not only costs the health service in England almost £1 billion a year, but missed appointments are also associated with poorer health outcomes.
