Year-round Daylight Saving Time Reinstated

February 9th, 1942 83 years ago

Year-round Daylight Saving Time, known as War Time, was reinstated in the United States as a measure to conserve energy resources during World War II. This initiative aimed to make better use of daylight, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting and saving fuel. The measure, which was promoted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was intended to aid the war effort by maximizing productivity and efficiency in factories and farms. The change impacted the daily lives of millions, as they adjusted their schedules to the new time system.
