1. daylight-saving time

   Daylight-saving time (DST) is the practice of setting the clock forward by one hour during the warmer part of the year, so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. This typically extends daylight hours into the evening during periods when the weather is the warmest. This approach is intended to conserve energy by reducing the need to use artificial lighting in the evening. Typically, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring ("spring forward") and are set back again one hour in the fall ("fall back") to standard time. The specific start and end dates for daylight-saving time can vary by country and region.
