Daylight Saving Time 2022: When It Start And Ends?
2 min read
There are a couple of dates this year for daylight saving time to start and end this year 2022.
As of November 7, the 2021 time-saving practice had come to an end; therefore, we are back to it four months later.
Researchers have conducted a number of studies to determine the effects of Daylight savings on the human body, sleep, and also the economy.
When will daylight saving time start in 2022?
On Sunday, March 13, 2022, Daylight Saving Time will begin. As a result, every new day will begin one hour earlier when the clocks advance by an hour.
We would like to remind you that Daylight Savings begins the second Sunday in March and terminates the first Sunday in November.
On November 6, 2022, the practice will come to an end.
Since the winter solstice on December 21, daylight hours have increased slightly each day. On January 1, however, the change will be dramatic. It will be 3:00 am (US Time) on March 13, when we will all move our clocks forward.
How many countries practice daylight saving?
The practice of changing the clock is observed in many countries around the world.
Both European Union countries and many non-member nations still change their clocks every two years.
There are also lots of places outside North America that use daylight savings time, including Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Lebanon, Argentina, Paraguay, Iran, New Zealand, and parts of Australia.
There is currently a proposal in US Congress to keep daylight saving time all year round, called the Sunshine Protection Act. This bill has languished in Congress for years without getting passed into law.
How does the practice benefit you?
Daylight Saving Time has several benefits, according to the US Department of Transportation.
In Daylight Saving Time, the sun sets one hour later in the evenings, saving you energy. As a result, you won’t have to use as much electricity. When people wake up during the time change, the sun is already out and fewer lights are on. Since sunrises occur early, people turn off fewer lights.
Furthermore, more people travel to and from work during daylight, reducing traffic injuries.
In daylight rather than at night, when crimes are more likely to occur, most citizens are out doing chores and other activities.
