Romy H week 9 Daylight Savings??

 Romy H week 9 Daylight Savings??

I woke up this morning, checked my watch, and read 9:00 am. I was so confused because I usually sleep until 11 or 10 at least. Then I checked my phone and saw 10:00 am. I then realized it was daylight savings, which was great because I actually got an extra hour of sleep. It honestly confuses me and I don’t understand why we still do this. I feel like every time I ask someone or look up why we still do it, the generic answer is for farmers. I feel like that isn’t as necessary now, but who knows. I was talking to my parents about it and they also don’t understand its purpose. As many of you know, my parents are South African, and apparently, daylight savings isn't a thing there. That made me think that if other countries don't need it why do we? It just confuses me and gets me and many others so confused with the time. For example, my sister thought she was late for her doctor’s appointment because her watch time was an hour later than what the real-time was. If she didn’t check her phone, she would have shown up an hour early. Some states have even decided not to stop doing daylight savings, which makes temporary individual time zones. Having each state being in a different time is so confusing, so I think all states should stop doing it. I remember Florida tried to stop it, but that never actually happened. Maybe if they held a vote on whether or not we should stop daylight savings we could make the United States have a cohesive decision instead of individual states choosing their time preference. Well, here we are waking up later when it is actually earlier. What do you guys think about daylight savings? Do you get confused too?
