Daylight saving time was a concept proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 to help the Parisians economize on candles (Introduction). The idea was to have people set their clocks back one hour in the spring to effectively force them to wake up an hour earlier. Today, the United States of America and most of Europe (Source C) have adopted daylight saving time under the guise that it saves energy. Because it has been integrated into society for multiple generation, people are reluctant get rid of it. However, daylight saving time is an outdated concept that needs to be reevaluated. Evidence suggests daylight saving time distorts our natural and internal clock. Instead of adjusting to the new time set, our body sleeps in tune with standard time.
