- Around the world, countries have been changing the clocks for more than a century. But hitting that snooze button when we lose an hour in bed frustrates many people. So why do we change the clocks? And is it finally time to stop doing it?
Frankie McCamley explains the history behind changing the clocks, who came up with the idea, how it’s changed over the years and what could happen in the future.... There’s some politics involved, decent tunes, a cannon being fired and an interesting golfing technique from Phoebe!
Also, if you fancy doing some reading of your own, here are some links to lots more information below.
Tick....tock!

Should this not be on cbbc. The presenter seems like she is talking to kids....
Thst the way most people will understand as we are becoming dumber every day!
@@mikecioka1180 speak for yourself.....
@@clanpiper74 exactly bro is for both of us. I love you too :)
NPC 34567998 you are kids no knifes over 10 inches for you youngster
For the BBC you're all bunch of kids .it's part of their program of indoctrination and surveillance
I am so happy Hawaii doesn't do this. I hated the time change, for a week after I always feel disoriented. I honest don't believe there is any benefit to it.
Bullshit. One extra hour of change cannot disorient you. Do you sleep exactly same number of hours from same to same time every day? Because if not, it's bullshit, you're just telling yourself that. It's an absolute nonsense from the scientific point of view. Educate yourself.
The dark and light times are so different that everyone goes crazy.
People think the sun should be setting at the same sort of time in the UK as it does in the tropics in the middle of winter which is rather silly. Even in London for more than 2 months at the same period of the GMT if move to GMT+1 there will still be no sun or light after 5pm let alone after 6pm. So the really light evenings say sun setting 8.00pm are still only going to be for a small fraction of the year anyway.
Also same folk blame BST for the sun rising too early in the morning in the middle of the summer vs BST when it is the other way around. If move to BST+1 during the summer months won't these same people be complaining about it being far too light after 11pm.
You can't have it all ways as it's impossible to get a happy medium of sunrise and sunset times here in the UK whatever time of yesr it is. A change to BST in winter months wlll not improve things for most in fact make things worse for most.
A nice bit of fun education. Pity some are to full of hate and anger. Lighten up!
Ikr. 😊
@@Zeldarw104 I don’t get it if we put clock forward in summer woudnt the day be shorter but then it’s summer so days would be longer 🤔
Me personally I'd rather see the balance shifted to later sunsets in the winter and earlier sunsets in the summer,that should be possibly by either not changing the clocks at all or reversing the current setup.
Daylight saving time doesn’t make later sunset
It only changes the time on the clock and doesn’t create more daylight
I don't get this idea. How can you save daylight by changing clock?
This has been my argument for a long time; if there are 12 hours in a day it doesn't matter what we do with the clocks; there are still 12 hours in a day. (I mean sunlight sorry)
Clock change doesn’t create more daylight
And it doesn’t save anything
The same effect could be created by starting school and work an hour earlier in the summer. Putting the clocks forward is simply a convenient way of harmonising the bi yearly change throughout the country.
I really don't see the point; I have to go to bed on work nights around 10ish, in the height of summer it's still not completely dark coming up to 11pm; who needs that? Seriously? GMT is the right time, let them drop back this October and be done with it. Stay there. All that having to adjust (Thankfully off this week but didn't get up yesterday or today till nearly 9am) is a pain. I'd rather get up when it's light and the light evenings then at the height of summer will bet dark around 10ish; which is fine.
I feel the same. I wish they'd just stick to GMT.
I really enjoyed this. I think if it was split into two videos, the content would have felt less crammed together. Overall, still interesting!
why put them back and not just keep the summer time all year around, so its lighter longer in the day.
It doesn’t make longer daylight during DST instead you start your day earlier
1pm 2pm 3pm
DST 2pm 3pm 4pm earlier time
See the difference
Earlier time means you get up in the dark mornings which affect your health and productivity
No because in December when sunrise is around 8 o'clock. Adding daylight saving time would make it 9 o'clock. That's not a good idea when you're taking children to school
It doesn't change the amount of daylight. It just makes people work in the dark in the morning.
Thanks for that
I believe it was done just to mystify the simple minded into believing the government is brilliant.
@@openscholar9908 They are!
@@SleepExports lol they may be but they still can't produce more daylight than already exist
@@openscholar9908 Yes, they just need to get it through parliament.
Love it! She talks about the clocks being changed in 1916, and then says "Fast forward to World War I …." Lord Reith would be proud.
Which rules out any blaming of the EU for twice yearly changing of the clocks once and for all. Yet people will still blame them anyway no matter what.
@@dvidclapperton Then those people should be corrected. In fact, the EU wants to standardise the clocks, which would be bad news for Ireland, Nordics, and Scotland if the SNP had its way.
I remember the experiment approx. 50 years ago when they remained on BST. Anyone working typical hours, including school children, proved to be much worse off, making the change HUGELY unpopular. That was why we reverted to established practice.
@@alexanderperry1844
The clocks also went on an hour to BST+1/GMT+2 (double summer time as well between March and October from what I have read.
But it's funny when Cameron mentioned he wanted to move to CET to marry up the stock exchanges for the benefit of UK share prices having the last hour of the working day suddenly doing business with the EU rather than none with the EU, he was praised for it by some, now the EU are the proposing the same thing Cameron did the same people who praised Cameron are castigsting the EU. I think it's madness to change it whether proposed by the UK government or the EU (the USA cope well with 5 time zones, Russia with 12 time zones), it only alright in London and other parts of south east England where it's either side of Greenwich longitude line but isn't that what the people who wanted it a few years ago, are suddenly now complaining about it.
@@dvidclapperton You are right about Double Summertime. That was WWII, and done to maximise the use of daylight. People REALLY hated that, and it was stopped asap.
Suggestions to move to CET come annually, citing many reasons. It is not so much the south east, but people who follow "Gentleman's Hours" who favour it, whilst disregarding the concerns of others - especially in the north. The simple fact is that it has been tried repeatedly, and proven to be a bad idea.
Me too. Going to school in the dark was a pain in the neck. It seems those who want to scrap daylight saving time want to achieve it by leaving the clocks permanently on Daylight saving time even in winter when there is hardly any daylight outside of normal working hours. Go Figure! @@alexanderperry1844
There is no need to change the UK time in spring. We do it for the same reasons as we still have the BBC because our government wont listen to the peoples of this land.
Yeah to be honest, we don't *really* need an extra hour of daylight in the evening do we?
I hate how they change the clocks , it should get light at 6 am and dark at 6 pm
yep like most countries same with india
Surely this is kids t.v? It should say cbbc not bbc in the title.
Hannah Baxter BBC is out of touch with every generation
I'm watching this at 12:59 am before it turns into 2 am
We need to roll them back an hour and leave them alone
If she cut out the awful humour then this video will be more interesting.

Harvey Swami if she cut out her tongue too
I change my thermometer every winter to show +10C more, so I feel warmer...
I am thinking about shortening the meter as well.
😂
I was thinking of leaving my boiler permanently on summer season settings. Like the clocks it's such a bother changing it twice a Year and see how much oil I will save!
Just to be obnoxious we change next Sunday the 4th in 🇺🇸.
Nature does not care about what we humans call Sunday.
Any more than Nature cares about what you call your cat.
Your cat does not care about what you call it...just feed it!
If Puss-Puss is hungry it she will eat you. Like her Tiger cousins.
For the same reason they changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Trying to show they have the authority to do so.
In a modern world when malls are almost 24/7 open, and people stay up late until 12am to attend International conferences, DST is just a hassle from the old times...
This daylight saving time needs to end PERMANENTLY. It does not save anything. Why can't it be standard time all year round.
Time changes need to stop, we need to stay in a single time that's 30 minutes in between.
Changing time must stop, I can not sleep after time is change
1:55-2:40 mind blowing fact
Every time the clocks are due to go forward, the same old people complain about it but when they are due to go back again, those same people are less bothered by it.
It really makes you think. ;)
They don't complain when the clocks go back because that is when 12pm matches actual noon time by the sun. I love the extra hour in the spring time but am glad when the clocks are set back to the correct time in winter to maximise the light in the mornings.
Arizona stays the same all year round 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A shithole?
In my country there are 2 states with same condition.
@@davelong9055 why do people think arizona is just a desert 🤦🏻♂️
@@davelong9055 yeah and lots of pine trees in northern arizona
pinetrees? 😂 ok like that makes up for anything
That is proof to be dangerous for drivers. Honestly that should stay the same as it does not saving nothing at all.
Only at US time change . Times change from US is very cruelty .
Don’t need music 😮
Good
That's really cool
This is so interesting!!!!!
Should be left at BST. We don't need light in the mornings, we need it when most of are about and need to relax after work, in the evenings. Safer for people too.
I so agree ... feeling 'peeled' and exposed by all this light. It's really affecting my mental health detrimentally - am having many more negative thoughts, it seems. Chris Martin, please can you persuade the authorities to reverse this 'trend'? How many golf players are there?
Solar noon should be 12 o'clock, adding BST would make it 1 o'clock
POV: You are here after the time change in 2023
I’d like more day lite in the evening in summer 🙏🙏🙏
Who's watching this in 2021
After independence in 1990, Namibia used the same single time zone as South Africa. In 1993 Government passed a bill defining the Namibian Standard Time. This was implemented in 1994 and fom April that year until 2017 Namibia used Winter time, the practice of setting clocks back during winter months by one hour.
In the 2010s repeated calls from businesses and private individuals were made to abolish winter time, citing incompatibilities with South Africa, Namibia's main trading partner, as well as a "loss of productivity".
This resulted in an official investigation by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration. During the polls, 97% of the 3,507 questioned people were in favour of the +2 difference to Greenwich Mean Time, and about 88% wanted to abolish winter time. After the Cabinet was likewise against changing clocks in autumn and spring, minister Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana proposed a new bill to that effect in February 2017.
Since September 2017 clocks are not changed here anymore. We are back to our “normal time” that we the older people were used to all of our life.
Why do we though
Because they can't change themselves.
LOL 😁
Why is everyone complaining that this is childish? Get with the times, this is interesting, humorous and engaging. Loved this video 😉
Can't really imagine that Coldplay's song has anything whatsoever to do with the issue.
No one likes time changes that I know of. It's just another example of our politicians letting us know who's in charge.
Hate time change! Its outdated and really hard for your average working people. If this is about consumerism, as this vid suggests, that would be appalling but not surprising...
Interesting stuff and good presentation.
Why are clocks round?
🥶
Yesterday clock changed
YAY
China’s smart
The Internet true
Who’s here after the clocks just went back today?
Me
The first minute was time wasting filler with no purpose. This is why you won't as many people watching an 8 minute video on the subject. You can just ask Google and get an answer in 10.
How did the invertor of the clock knew what time it was???
@stray dog7 have to be british to say sorry for helping😂😂😂😂

I thought I was watching CBBC
Good information but questionable presentation
If you move the clock back everyone that works in every restaurant will lose 20 hours in 2 weeks of pay Before Christmas and it will affect lots of people in Texas. What this means is that they won't afford to buy anyone a present that they really want to get them. Because they have lots of bills to pay as well. If they change the clock time then that means that life is going to be hard in Texas to survive with a little bit of money that they get paid from all the hard work that they do. Now is this what the government wants to do to all the hard workers in Texas because it will affect all the rich people as well. Because if we don't have any money to spend then the rich people don't get any money from every item that they try to sell because we cannot afford it. And they will be more thieves in Texas and more people on the streets is this what the government wants. If you think the coronavirus was bad way to they changed the time and they take away all your hard-working money. Remember it's the medium people that work hard for the rich and the poor so that they can live a good life. If the government takes 20 hours in 2 weeks out of everyone's paycheck Texas will be messed up till next year. Now how do you expect to have a good Thanksgiving while you worrying about paying your bills and having gas in your car to get to work and trying to survive with a small paycheck when it comes to eating. This will even affect every restaurant and every store in Texas now is this what the government wants because it will affect all of Texas and anybody who agrees on changing the clock back. I know the government listens to everything. That people text on their phone. But this message is very important to the Future of every country that's going to move the clock back. It's going to hurt like a hurricane destroyed their City. Now is this what the government wants to see during Hurricane Season.🤨
During winter time go back and people end up with depression 🇬🇧🤷🤦 come on woman if we stayed on daylight time wouldn't make any difference in this day and age! We humans are now active around the clock, it's just healthyer to have one time zone
If they did not it would save people electricity
😂😂dont blame her, blame the government
You didn’t do that this year

DST: Doesn't Save Time.
Coldplay's song "Clock" based on his great great grandfather history..
He should send his ggf to hell.
Aren't human beings funny creatures? They even stopped bins being emptied before 7 a.m. but they don't care that it's actually 6 a.m. when BST. "Too early to get UP" unless everybody's clock says 7 when it's 6!!?
Exactly it only changes the time on the clock
I'm not sure if we would benefit with or without the time change when the time comes to change the clocks it does annoy and confuse me .its a set rule so it prob is just pointless and don't matter who knows
Isn't your claim that no one uses UTC incorrect, apart from the whole internet, so Iceland uses it all year round. Or am I wrong?
Iceland uses GMT
@@tetsianjorin1111 No, UTC have no daysavings time just as Iceland practice. London still change time zone each season or if you like change the definition of it's time zone each season in relation to UTC so the so called GMT is UTC during the winter season and CET during the summer season when CET become EET..
@@RolfEricAnithason Gmt is just a time zone. Just because Iceland doesn't have daylight saving time doesn't mean that they don't use gmt as their time zone
@@RolfEricAnithason And you are wrong CET turns to CEST In the summer season, While eet turn to eest In the summer season
@@RolfEricAnithason So as I said before Iceland uses GMT all year round
If the BBC told me the time, I would always then check it with a reputable source. Like with anything the BBC says!
means in december kids have to walk home from school in the dark, surely thats enough
You don’t get extra daylight in the evening instead you start your day earlier
Having an earlier time means you have to get up in the dark mornings which affect your health and productivity
You don’t loose sleep instead you wake up early
You don’t have extra sleep instead you wake up later
Clock change doesn’t affect your health

You forgot to mention the state of Florida. As of recently, the state of Florida has possibly granted the Eastern and Central for the Panhandle daylight savings time all year round, or all year long.

So stupid and dumb things to do to people,DO NOT DESTROYING OUR LIVES !!!!STOP TO CHANGING TIME !!!!!!
Just leave the damm time alone ffs. 🤬🤬
If you need 8 days in a week. Make your week a 21 hour per day. We use to do it when we were students back home. Practically it was helpful to manage leisure produtively .
I'm from Saskatchewan Canada we decided years ago we liked DST so much we never turned the clocks back. I hear all the reasons for summertime hours but no valid reasons to switch back.
Well done you are actually waking up early now
Earlier time means you get up in dark mornings which affect your health
7am 8am 9am later time
8am 9am 10am DST ( earlier time
Daylight saving time means you have an earlier time and you don’t have extra daylight
There'no evidence that it saves energy. It's just a stupid annoyance.
Biden's campaign ad is sickening!
I'm sorry, but isn't this for kids.
my country dont use daylight saving time
norhayati mamat if i had my own country I'd do the same it pisses me right off
Vanuatu doesnt do it.NZ does and its annoying
In Western Australia, we reject daylight saving in the 2009 referendum.
You are so lucky. Over here it's light until after 10pm and it's really annoying.
