It is the period between and including the first Sunday in April to the last Saturday in October when clocks in the western world are advanced by 1hour in order to take advantage of the greater length of daylight hours.

Daylight Saving Time was created to extend the daylight hours to allow for more work to be done on a farm or in an agricultural area.

It began with Ben Franklin playing a jpke on people at a party. He might've been trying to get rid of them, I dunno. But, he ran the clock up 1 hour. Now, running the clock up one hour to MAKE DST, saves he local cities money, by not having to have lights on in the mornings, and it helps kids not get run over by cars when going to school.

During April, the clocks are moved forward one hour. During October, they are moved back one hour. This is not in every state of the U.S.
