The idea of Daylight Saving Time (DST) goes back over 100 years: • First proposal: 1895 by George Vernon Hudson (New Zealand). • First implementation: 1916 in Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I to save energy. • Switzerland: Adopted DST in 1981 to align with neighboring European countries. So, it’s not just a Swiss tradition — it’s part of a Europe-wide system to make better use of daylight in summer and save energy. #zurich🇨🇭 #switzerland #dts #sleep #onehour #sleepwell
