The practice involves advancing clocks during summer months to extend an hour of daylight. In countries where daylight saving time is followed, clocks are set forward by an hour at the start of spring. In autumn, clocks are \u2018turned back,\u2019 or adjusted to the standard time. Every country that follows DST has its own dates for when to adjust their clock.<\/p>\n<h3>Who discovered Daylight Saving time?<\/h3>\n<p>Benjamin Franklin is erroneously considered as inventor of daylight-saving time, but actually it was<strong> George Hudson<\/strong>, a New Zealand based entomologist, who proposed the modern DST. He introduced a two-hour daylight-saving shift in a paper that he presented to the Wellington Philosophical Society in 1895.<\/p>\n<p>There are also many publications that credit the daylight-saving time to <strong>William Willett<\/strong>, an English builder. He was out on a pre-breakfast ride in 1905 when he observed that many people in London slept through a major part of the summer day. Two years later, he published a proposal stressing on advancing the clock during summer months, but his idea never became a reality during his lifetime.<\/p>\n<h3>The Recognition of Daylight Saving Time<\/h3>\n<p>In 1916, at the height of World War I, Germany became the first nation to adopt daylight saving time. With war raging, it was essential to conserve energy and Germany found DST a viable solution. Sometime later, the United Kingdom also embraced DST. Russia adopted DST in 1917, while the United States followed in 1918. Some countries did away with DST in the years following the end of WW I, but returned to observe it again during WW II. It was only during the 1970s energy crisis, that DST became a common practice in North America and Europe.<\/p>\n<h3>Nations in the Southern Hemisphere<\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple of nations in the Southern Hemisphere that also use daylight saving time. These nations are; Fiji, Namibia, New Zealand, Paraguay, Samoa, and Tonga. DST is partially observed across the nations in Australia, Brazil, and Chile. In Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, South Australia and Lord Howe Island observe DST. Similarly, in Brazilian regions where DST is observed are Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso, Federal District Brasilia, S\u00e3o Paulo, Paran\u00e1, Goi\u00e1s, the Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, Esp\u00edrito Santo, and Minas Gerais. Chile uses DST, except for the Magallanes region, which last observed DST in December 2016.<\/p>\n<h3>Nations in Northern Hemisphere<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, the list of nations and territories in the Northern Hemisphere using DST is quite long. A few nations and territories include; Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Iran, Morocco, Spain, the United Kingdom, and others. Most of the United States uses DST barring Hawaii and Arizona (except the Navajo Nation Community). In Canada, DST is not observed in some regions in Quebec, a major part of Saskatchewan, and areas in British Columbia and Nunavut (Southampton Island). In Greenland, Danmarkshavn and Pituffik don\u2019t follow DST, while the rest does.<\/p>\n<h3>Nations that don&#8217;t observe DST<\/h3>\n<p>Afghanistan, Bahrain, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, North Korea, Qatar, Swaziland, the United Arab Emirates, and others, do not observe DST. However, there are quite a few countries and territories which at one point in time did observe daylight saving time. Some of these are; India, Japan, Hong Kong, Armenia, China, Colombia, Egypt, Malaysia, and a couple of others.<\/p>\n<p>The table below provides information on the use of DST around the
