Daylight Savings Time comes from Ben Franklin, who when he was in Europe noted that people would “work by candlelight and sleep by sunshine” yet “complain about the costs of candlewax and burning tallow”
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. It’s more than a motto. It works. Rising with the sun saves money.
Franklin was popular while in Europe. I doubt his early to bed was to save daylight. hee hee hee
He was generally a very wise man, but this is still a dumb idea.
