  1. daylight-savings time

    Daylight Savings Time (DST) is the practice of advancing the clock, usually by one hour, during warmer months in order to extend evening daylight and to reduce the need for artificial lighting. This temporal adjustment, typically applied in spring and reversed in fall, varies by country and region. DST aims to make better use of natural daylight during the evenings, and also to conserve energy by reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evening.
