Daylight Saving Time (DST) emerged during World War I, initially aimed at conserving energy and maximising daylight utilisation. While some nations embraced this practice, others, particularly those closer to the equator, remained indifferent. The inconsistent adoption of DST globally has posed significant challenges in determining accurate time across various regions, leading to disruptions in the realm of timekeeping during certain periods annually.
