What is DST?
For those who don’t know, it stands for Daylight Saving Time.
This post is not only our weekly tip, it’s also a reminder for you that this Sunday, at 2:00 a.m. we are setting our clocks forward by an hour, to 3:00 a.m.
- Whose idea was it?
- When did they start to experiment with DST?
- In which country did they start using it?
- Why is it good?
- How have general opinion and scientific views changed since its implementation?
If you want to find out more about its history, terminology, and impact on our lives,
Timeanddate dot com has a digestable length article about it:

And Wikipedia has a long, long, long entry about it, too:

Don’t forget to set the clock on the wall forward tomorrow.
