IT
IT IS
IT IS SO
IT IS SO NICE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM IN ATLANTA, WE WILL
TELL YOU WHERE.
FOR NOW, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING,
I HAD BAGS UNDER MY EYES, I WAS
DOING THE EYE MASKS, BECAUSE I
AM TIRED, I DID NOT SLEEP WELL.
>>> DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME HAS
MADE ME MAD THIS YEAR, SHOOK
OVER IT.
OVER IT.
OVER IT. >> WHY DO WE DO IT, IS IT TRUE
WHAT IS ON THE INTERNET, THAT
PEOPLE ARE GETTING, IT GIVES US
ILLNESSES?
ILLNESSES? >> THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A
STRETCH.
STRETCH.
STRETCH. THE REASON WHY IT DOES THAT, IS
BECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY MESSES
UP OUR SLEEP CYCLE.
IF YOUR SLEEP CYCLE IS MUSLIM,
THEN YOU ARE MORE PRONE TO
ILLNESSES AND DISEASE.
BUT WE HAD TO IN WITH THAT
TEASE, DIDN'T WE QUESTION MARK
>> YEAH YOU DID.
>> LET'S LOOK AT WHY WE ARE SO
THANKFUL FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. >>
TIME. >> THANK YOU DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
TIME FOR KICKING OFF THE HALF
OF THE YEAR WHERE THE CLOCK ON
THE MICROWAVE IS ACTUALLY
CORRECT.
CORRECT.
CORRECT. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> JAMES WAS SO CONFUSED WHY WE
WERE LEAVING FOR SCHOOL AT
6:45.
6:45.
6:45. >>
6:45. >> RIGHT, I KNOW.
THE DIGITAL, HOURS ARE STILL
WRONG, OF COURSE THANKFULLY,
THE DIGITAL ONES ON OUR PHONE --
HERE IS A QUESTION, ICY
PRODUCER SEAN TALKING ABOUT IT,
IS A DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, OR
DAYLIGHT SAVING CUSTOMER
>> THERE IS NO S. I DO LIKE
SAVINGS MORE.
SAVINGS MORE. MORE SAVINGS, YOU CAN HAVE THE
BETTER.
BETTER.
BETTER. BUT THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SAY IT,
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME.
>> DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME.
>> BEN FRANKLIN WAS THE FIRST
ONE WHO SUGGESTED DAYLIGHT
SAVING TIME.
SAVING TIME. IN 1784, HE PUBLISHED AN ESSAY
ADVOCATING FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. HE
TIME. HE SAID IN THE ESSAY ALL THE
DIFFICULTY WILL BE IN THE FIRST
TWO OR THREE DAYS, OBLIGING MEN
TO RISE UP FOR A CLOCK IN THE
MORNING, AND IT IS MORE THAN
PROBABLE YOU WILL GO WILLINGLY
TO BED AT EIGHT A CLOCK IN THE
EVENING.
EVENING.
EVENING. HE WAS JOKING I THINK, HE WAS
BEING SARCASTIC.
BEING SARCASTIC. PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS. HE DID NOT GET THE LAW PASSED.
HE ALSO SAID IT WOULD BE A
MONEY SAVER.
MONEY SAVER. I AM NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD
WORK, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT EVEN
HAVE ELECTRICITY, WHICH IS ONE
OF THE MAIN THINGS THEY SAY NOW
IS WHAT HELPS YOU SAVE ON YOUR
ELECTRICITY BILL.
ELECTRICITY BILL. HE APPARENTLY ALSO THOUGHT THAT
FRENCH PEOPLE WERE REALLY LAZY.
SO THEY SAID HE WAS POKING FUN
AT THE FRENCH FOR BEING LAZY,
THAT MOST PEOPLE WASTE THE
SUNLIGHT IN THE MORNING ANYWAY.
>> INTERESTING, IT WAS ABOUT A
LITTLE BIT OF A DIG TO THE
FRENCH.
FRENCH.
FRENCH. AND HERE WE ARE TODAY.
>> THEN HE WROTE A SATIRICAL
ESSAY, AND IT STARTED THE IDEA.
THE OFFICIAL CREDIT FOR THE IDEA
GOES TO A BUG COLLECTOR.
HERE IS THE STORY, AND
ENTOMOLOGIST WHO WAS WORKING AT
A POST OFFICE DID A LOT OF BUG
HUNTING AT NIGHT, AND HE BECAME
SO FRUSTRATED BY HOW EARLY THE
SUNSET, DURING THE SUMMER
MONTHS, HE SAID HEY, THIS IS
CRAZY, LET'S HAVE MORE LIGHT
DURING THE SUMMER NIGHTS SO WE
CAN CATCH OUR BUGS.
AND IN THE WINTER WHEN THERE
ARE NO BUGS, IT DOES NOT MATTER
IF IT GETS DARK EARLIER,
BECAUSE I DO NOT NEED TO SEE.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. ACTUALLY, THAT MAKES MORE SENSE
TO ME THAN BEN FRANKLIN'S JOB
AT THE FRENCH.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP IT ONE
WAY, WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP IT
WHERE IT IS MORE DAYLIGHT, THAT
IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW?
DOESN'T EVERYBODY LIKE THAT?
OR, DO YOU NEED THAT SUNLIGHT
EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GET, I
DON'T KNOW.
DON'T KNOW. >> I KNOW IT IS A CONUNDRUM.
I ALWAYS HEARD IT WAS FOR THE
FARMERS TO HAVE MORE LIGHT AT
NIGHT SO THEY CAN TEND TO THEIR
FIELDS.
FIELDS.
FIELDS. HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT EVEN MAKE
THIS LIST.
THIS LIST. THE NEXT WHAT IS WORLD WAR I
PUSHED DAYLIGHT SAVINGS INTO
LAW.
LAW.
LAW. IN
LAW. IN 1960, GERMANY BECAME THE
FIRST COUNTRY TO ADOPT DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS TIME.
SAVINGS TIME. IT WAS AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE
COAL, AND THEN OTHER COUNTRIES
STARTED TO FOLLOW.
>> RIGHT, OKAY.
INTERESTING.
INTERESTING. BUT IT IS THINGS THAT HAPPENED
YOU KNOW A LONG TIME AGO,
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THINGS WERE
BACK THEN.
BACK THEN. IT JUST SEEMS SO ANTIQUATED.
WE CAN SAY THAT WAS THEN, THIS
IS NOW.
IS NOW.
IS NOW. >> RIGHT, THERE WAS A STUDY
DONE IN INDIANA, THAT YOU DO
NOT REALLY SAVE ENERGY.
IT IS LIKE A 1% DIFFERENCE.
IT DOES NOT MATTER TO SOME
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. BUT
BUT
BUT >>
BUT >> RIGHT, AGAIN IT IS NOT
SIGNIFICANT.
SIGNIFICANT. >> IT GAINED POPULARITY DURING
THE ENERGY CRISIS.
THE U.S. CONSIDERED DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS IN THE 1970S AND IT WAS
ARGUED THE OTHER WAY FOR
DAYLIGHT CONSERVATION.
DAYLIGHT CONSERVATION. DURING THE 1974 ENERGY CRISIS
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ENERGY
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.
THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT OR
PARENTS WERE UPSET TO THEY HAD
TO GET THERE KIDS UP FOR SCHOOL
IN THE DARK.
>> THAT IS A LITTLE BIT TOUGH.
>> OR WHEN YOU SLEEP IN,
INTERRELATE ANYWAY, IT WAS
LIGHT.
LIGHT.
LIGHT. >>
LIGHT. >> WELL, THIS MORNING SHOULD BE
A WASH.
A WASH.
A WASH. IT SHOULD NOT COUNT IF YOU ARE
TARDY.
TARDY.
TARDY. >>
TARDY. >> IT MAY ACTUALLY BE AN ENERGY
WASTER.
WASTER.
WASTER. AS I JUST SAID IN A 2008 STUDY
CONDUCTED IN INDIANA, AND FOUND
IT RAISED ENERGY BILLS BY 1%.
BECAUSE YOUR ENERGY BILLS GO
DOWN, BUT YOUR HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING GO UP.
YOU ARE REALLY ONLY SAVING
MONEY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO GO
OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE EXIT
DAYLIGHT.
DAYLIGHT.
DAYLIGHT. IF YOU ARE INSIDE MAKING THOSE
BILLS GO UP, IT DOES NOT
MATTER.
MATTER.
MATTER. >> OBVIOUSLY, NOW IT HAS BECOME
A PSYCHOLOGICAL THING WHERE WE
KNOW SPRING IS HERE, SUMMER IS
AROUND THE CORNER, WE ARE GOING
TO GET TO BE OUTSIDE AND ENJOY
THE SUNSHINE.
THE SUNSHINE. >> I REALLY DO NOT LET THIS
BOTHER ME, I CANNOT CHANGE IT.
I AM NOT GOING TO PASS NEW
LEGISLATION TO CHANGE IT.
TODAY I WAS REALLY UPSET ABOUT
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> I
IT. >> I FOLLOW JENNIFER GARNER,
SHE IS SO FUNNY, WHICH IS WHAT
INSPIRED ME TO POST MY VERY
REAL PHOTO AT 7 AM, THE TALL
TURBAN, BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS
POSTS.
POSTS.
POSTS. SHE DID THIS FUNNY CUTE POST
ABOUT -- WELL IT WAS JUST
CHALLENGING FOR HER TO GET HER
GAME TOGETHER.
GAME TOGETHER. >> SHE IS JUST LIKE US.
IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD BECAUSE
WE LOST AN HOUR ASLEEP.
AS I WAS SAYING EARLIER, IT CAN
HAVE MANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON
US.
US.
US. A
US. A LOT
US. A LOT OF ILLNESSES ARE MORE
LIKELY IF WE DO INDEED LOOSELY.
>> GOT IT.
>> THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS.
THERE IS A DECREASE IN CRIME
WHEN IT IS LIGHT OUTSIDE.
ONE OF THE STUDIES IN 2015 SAID
ROBBERIES DROP BY 7%.
I EVEN READ CRIME LISTENING BY
27%.
27%.
27%. >>
27%. >> THAT IS GOOD.
>> DID YOU KNOW DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS TIME GOES INTO EFFECT
AT 2 AM, NOT 12.
THEY DID THAT IN CASE PEOPLE
WORKED THE EARLY SHIFT, OR
PEOPLE WERE OUT AT THE BARS.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
2 AM.
2 AM.
2 AM. >>
2 AM. >> NOT AT THE STROKE OF
MIDNIGHT THAT HE WOULD
