It’s been almost a week since Daylight Saving Time began. Why we do change our clocks twice a year? Polls have shown most American adults don’t like it. The Senate just easily passed a bill to stop the practice of changing our clocks, although if it actually becomes law, it would be up to the states whether to stay on Standard Time or switch to Daylight Saving Time year-round. 

Today, we’re sharing a bit about DST’s past. Here to break it down for us is the man who wrote the book on time, Dr. Mike O'Malley. He’s the author of “Keeping Watch: A History of American Time,” and he teaches history at George Mason University. O'Malley explains why the very idea of a man-made clock was controversial in the beginning, how it evolved into the practice of changing our clocks twice a year, and some pros and cons of it all.
