Changing the clocks ''does not create extra daylight'' but instead '''''shifts the times of sunrises and sunsets'''''. This time change can cause disruptions to our body clock, otherwise known as the [[circadian rhythm]].<ref>https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/daylight-saving-health.html Negative Health Effects of DST</ref>

Many sources erroneously credit American inventor [[Benjamin Franklin]] for first suggesting seasonal time change in a letter written in 1784. In a '''''satirical''''' letter to the editor of the Journal of [[Paris]], entitled ''“An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light,”'' Franklin did suggest that Parisians could economize [[candle]] usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning. However, it did not involve altering the time displayed by clocks (The integral part of today's Daylight "Saving" Time).
