In the other side, there’s China that uses a _single_ time zone for the _entire country_ , causing the westernmost cities to literally get sunrise at like 9 am
And yet there are people that claim that system is so much better because businesses just need to adjust their hours. Those same people forget why time zones were created in the first place.
@@justincarroll1836 in some cases a global time would even be better, you would just need to adjust Business time everywhere.
@@nouon4220 sure it would solve a few problems, it would just also generate several hundred problems. The idea behind zoning time it to have large areas of economic cooperation able to be uniform in their schedules and thus aid logistics, time management, transportation and most importantly consistency. If I travel a few dozen miles west, I don't have to worry about businesses having a different schedule. What might be open till 8pm in my area is suddenly only open until 750 or 745 lets say. And if you'd propose only rigid hour incremental adjustments then you'd still have time zones, just defined differently and almost certainly with a negative economic impact.

I used to work graveyard, I can personally attest that waking up and working before the sun is bad for your mental and physical health.
Now I wake up around 5:30 which is still before daylight but nowhere near as bad as waking up at midnight
You punk better take care of my body
I've had the night owl sleep schedule for five years now. Certainly don't see or feel any noticeable changes.
It is not. Nocturnal sleep cycles are the default state of humanity. Stop doing revisionism
I have to get up at 5:15, and that can be rough in the winter. My bedroom window is facing east, so during the summer I'm usually up at 4:30 because the sun is already high above the horizon.
@@panzerveps at 4:30? Where do you live, Alaska?
I empathize with people stuck in Lubbock. Someone very close to me was trapped there a few years for work. He works in a very niche field, where jobs are few and far between. He's used to moving around and adjusting, but Lubbock was a unique level of hell. Recently, he actually transitioned to a different career path just to get out of there. And he's not alone: I'm not convinced he's met _anyone_ who legitimately *wants* to live there. Like him, his colleagues are stuck because of work and aching to pick up and leave as soon as they find another job opportunity in their field.
It is not my intention to mock the people in or from Lubbock, and if you like it there, I am happy for you. I detest snobs who think there's nothing worthwhile outside of NYC or LA, and think everyone in 'flyover states' wants to live and be like them. I certainly don't claim my small rural hometown is paradise, I poke fun at it lovingly; and faced years of teasing because of my accent. After a lifetime of bouncing from state to state, I can usually find the charms and hidden gems in different cities. Lubbock has been the sole exception.
I have considered relocating from St. Louis to Lubbock for two reasons:
1- the semi-arid climate would be great for my wife's asthma
2- It's not Midland. I have kin down there. Midland/Odessa makes Lubbock look like paradise.
Can confirm. I’m from DFW, living in Lubbock, tied down here because of my job, looking for the first opportunity to go back to DFW
Meanwhile, in Canada. Everyone wakes up when it's dark and goes to bed when it's dark
Or any country up north
The entire UK population lives far to the north of the vast majority of Canadians.
It’s so dark here.

@@owjburnham4317 yeah us Canadians live within like a 100 km from the US border

This could be easily fixed if works and schools started at a humanly hour like 9, instead of 7.
but they don't
My middle school starts at 6, I would consider school starting at 7 lucky
I study at 5 a.m, but when all ends I lost that power.
Children: hey we need sleep
School: so like 2-3 hours? Got it we’ll make sure you have a couple of hours free each day to sleep
i study from 9. 9 is not humanly at all, it should start from 11 or at least 10

In Summer, dawn begins at 4am and in winter at 8am.

True. I live on the eastern edge of Central Time and it's annoying as hell when the sun is blazing thru your windows at 5AM. Especially when you work an evening shift.
Doesn't matter whether you are to the left or the right of a timezone, most of the people I know would wake up prior to sunrise no matter the timezone due to work. It'd be kinda crazy to me to be able to get up at or after sunrise as I've simply not done it. Be it waking up for school as a kid or waking up for work as an adult, I've always rose before the sun.
Fun fact, the map shown at 3:43 is only accurate for half the year. The Canadian province of Saskatchewan (the rectangle jutting out on the western edge of the central time zone in Canada) never changes time at daylight savings time, meaning that for half of the year it is on Central time and half the year it is on Mountain time. Or as regionally referred, it always remains on "Saskatchewan time".

You see, in the modern age. There's another problem living on the very edge of a time zone. I used to live in a small town in Indiana, about 1 mile east of the Indiana/Illinois state line. Illinois is on CST, and Indiana is on EST (for the most part). I worked in a small little brick and mortar with people from both time zones. The big issue though, was cellphones. See, this is rural area I'm talking about. And sometimes things happen. So if the cell tower closest to you on the Indiana side of the Wabash River decides to go on the fritz phones like to pick the tower *on the other side* of the river in Illinois..those towers, are on CST. If you have your phone set to auto-sync the time, and you have an alarm set for 8 AM in your phone and this happens...well...now you're an hour late for work and there's nothing you can do about it. Gotta love technology.
I mean you could’ve gotten an alarm clock or a watch? Or am I missing something? lol
I've noticed this when I travel on Amtrak from Ann Arbor to Chicago. When crossing from Michigan (EST) into NW IN (northwest Indiana is the only part of the state on CST), I've noticed that my phone either changes time before or after I cross the state line, but seldom at the exact point.
@@seanskoog388 I live in the Ann Arbor area now lol
So somewhere between Terre Haute and Vincennes, then? I feel your pain. When I lived out that way, the radio stations in Vincennes used to announce what time it was in both time zones at the top of the hour.
@@actionsubI was just about to assume somewhere in the vicinity of Terre Haute, mainly because I lived the time of my best mental health in Paris, just on the Illinois side of the line. There is a lot of decay in that region, mainly because Indiana is not ruled from one Democrat stronghold, and it is very easy to hop the state line.
Schools: I'mma pretend I didn't see that
We ride at dawn
Nothing like a 50 hour work week to help kids grow
We were In school 8 and a half hours a week before class 6. And school is a bit far so we wake up at 6:30 here....and still manage to get late for the bus cuz it is an hour ride from my house.
schools - high schools especially- are pretending hormonal changes and puberty don't exist, not just timezone problems -.-" ... something's seriously wrong when the family doc says "yeh it's normal , most teens have sleeping difficulties, it's hormones".. it's NORMAL ??.. that's an alarm bell >.>

I highly disagree with this video, living in Chicago on the east edge of the central time zone literally brings out "seasonal depression" because in winter it is pitch black at 4:30pm while most people are still working leaving absolutely 0 minutes of daylight to enjoy once off work whereas if it was dark in the morning, nobody cares because you will get to enjoy the daylight after work
Chicago has more light in the morning on the clock
Left side of a time zone has more light in the evening on the clock
Time zones (unlike daylight savings) actually save lives. Trains commonly would wreck and kill all the passengers because different towns had different times before standard time was established.
People: The sun is rising. Time to get up!
Me, living in Finland: *Confused screaming*
I know few people in Murmansk (Russia), I know what that scream sounds like :)
@@jur4x you can hear the echo of these screams even in winter Moscow. We just act like there is no sun xdd

@@guillermo.mserrano I live in Toulouse, France. France's natural time zone is UTC. It's actually UTC+1 during winter and +2 during summer
Me, not living in the Arctic but very far north: *SAVOUR THE PRECIOUS SIX HOURS OF SUN*
1 what about summer/winter? In winter you get up in the dark anyway. In sunner sun rises before you get up anyway. 2. It mostly depends on when you start your workday. Not a big deal when you start at 9 or 10, or especially 11 (lucky ones!)
I just recently thought about how we need to reform our time zones to be more linear (and no daylight savings). Apparently, we also need to create more (maybe by 15 or 30 minute increments instead of just an hour).
At minimum get rid of changing the time twice a year!

They need miniature fusion reactors to properly emulate the sun though.
Could this actually be the reason why I’m always tired? My city is like on the line of where the time zone should end but instead moves out of the way for the rest of my country.

Welcome to northern canada, europe and asia. The sun doesn't go down enough at summer leading to sleeplessness. The sun then overcompensates by not rising/rising too little at wintertime leading to you being tired at work because the 4 hoursnof sunlight were spent at the office and you get to go to work in the dark and return in the dark.
The high variation of sun-time in the far North DOES mess people up. I was in Inuvik, Northwest Territories in summer 1986, and I could look due north at 2:30 in the morning and see the sun shining. More telling was that I was seeing 3-year-old kids outdoors playing at that impossible hour.

And that doesn't even include the insane idea of "daylight saving time" which essentially shifts everyone even farther west by one additional hour.
I am from Jordan (Middle Eastern country) and spent 5 years in Florida (US state). One of the things I noticed right after moving to Florida was that sun rises and sets later, and in winter, we have sometimes to wake up in the dark!
Last year in Jordan, the decided to stay on daylight savings time during winter, which meant that we became like many places in the US: less sunshine in the morning, more in the evening.
Why did Jordan followed the US? Is having to wake up in the dark something cool countries do?!

In winter the sun sets at around 5:45PM, but just 10 or so miles to my west, the people in Illinois have to deal with the sun going down at 4:45. Kids there in bigger cities might not even get home for school before dark. I would not be able to live like that.

This timezone split happens in Australia. In the northern parts you get up with the sun all year round (for the most part), and for the more southern parts, for example Melbourne you get up in the dark most of the year - for a wake up time of 7.30am. My personal experience is that an early rising sun can greatly impact the start of your day, especially since it helps warm the day up earlier!
Is it because of daylight saving time, greater seasonal differences in more extreme latitudes, or both? Or could it be because of the longitudes of the cities? As Melbourne is more western than Brisbane, for example. Yet it has the same time zone in the winter, and an earlier one in summer. So of course its solar time is going to be later relative to its official time than in the case of Brisbane.
What would is having reduced business hours during winter time eg 10am to 4pm instead of 9am to 5pm. So in winter everyone starts 1 hour later and gets home 1 hour earlier. It certainly would make the Victorian winter less depressing.
so I live in Western GA, this actually makes a lot of since now seeing that my timezone is best fit for New England and Hispaniola

Half as interesting: Now towns are separated by clean, family friendly hour increments.
Newfoundland: Laughs every 1/2 hour!
Part of my problem is that I live on the right side of the Central Time Zone, but work in the left side of the Eastern Time Zone. Not only do I have to get up early, my "smart" phone gets confused by the going back and forth and sometimes thinks it is in the wrong time zone, waking me up an extra hour earlier. Also, many people, businesses, and local governments that are officially in the Central Time Zone operate on Eastern Time because the bigger city is on Eastern Time. Some people still use fast time and slow time to describe which zone they are using.
As a Texan................I'm not offended by that Lubbock joke that was amazing
But do you live in Lubbock
Wtf is a Lubbock
As an Eastern Texan I find it to be hilarious since I sit in the center of the time zone and my job needs me awake at 9am
Tech student here 😂😂😂
@@RadicalPlasma ayyyy me too. Beaumont
Me, who lives on the the left side if EST and also is constantly tired and cant concentrate and also have minor anger issues: *hmm...*
I love living on the left side of EST cause it means more sunlight at the end of the day
New Yorker? If so, that could be part of the problem...
@@MonkeyJedi99 I said left not right.
I live in Tennessee
@@MonkeyJedi99 new york is to the right, and there are many countries in EST, not just the US
Luckily I live on the right side of EST... but I still wake up in the dark
In Michigan, we have the worst of both worlds. We are almost touching the left time zone border, and the fact that it’s so far north makes it dark all the time
And here comes: SUMMER TIME!
It makes you live out of timezone, past its left border. But only for like half of the year. For the other year you live in your timezone. I think it's a part of the reason why now I fall asleep when sun rises. My Internal Caveman Clock™ got crazy because of of these time changes.
You know where else is on the left side of a time zone?
Wendover, UT.
I first learned about Wendover from Lewis Black's rant about it.
Salt Lake City, Utah.
There's an airport there too.
... the point is that his other channel is Wendover Productions.
@@kentchamberlain5720 OH.
*someone* woke up on the wrong side of the time zone.
@Benjamin AhlersIt is a good one!

The jokes about Lubbock had me dying XD good stuff man
I wasn’t expecting to see stock footage of Jack Howard having a heart attack in this video, but I’m glad I did

Plot twist: HAI lives in Lubbock, Texas
Oh no
YES! I 100% have time for the Lubbock, TX roasts
This is becoming relevant again with the current discussions about ending DST.
I thought the discussion was predominately about making DST be in effect the entire year, which would be a terrible idea. The children who have to be in school unconscionably early will, in effect, need to be in school even an hour earlier, if their metabolism is dependent on solar time, which will be even more destructive to the education process.
Lubbock: It sucks so much to be on the left on the timezone
Urumqi, China: That's cute.
Interestingly though for this reason there they kind of start their days 2 hours later (and there is a local timezone which corresponds to right that although it is not used officially) so schools e.g. start at 10:00 instead of 8:00
@@Izzy-gq3kd as a former Lubbockite, we did not start school at 9 or 10, both public and private schools started around 8-8:30
Idk how anyone can have a "sleep schedule". I just wake up depending on the plan of the day.... Tried it, and waking up at the same time every day makes me depressed.
soo.... you dont have a job?
I feel the same. That's why I love rotating shift work. Having regular 7-3 hours made me super depressed
Kinda feels like groundhog day when you have a sleep schedule and routine.
@@chango.-. Self-employment & flexible/changing schedules are a thing. I have a job but I could work whenever I want. I could come in at 12AM or PM if I wanted to(- & if there weren't other things in my life).
I just wake up when I feel like it. but no matter how much sleep I get, it NEVER recharges me, I'm allways bloody exhausted when I wake up.
“Regular bathing” that was common among even peasant classes during the medieval era, you can’t make a historical joke unless it’s accurate otherwise it isn’t funny
New game: Take a shot every time Sam uses the caveman clock stock footage.

3:34 this is the best joke on this damn channel.
Lubbock is also a joke.
As someone who works on-call for hardware troubleshooting who lives in California, it's rough when people from Eastern time call at 8AM their time which is 5AM my time
HAI going savage on Lubbock, TX!
When you realize you live on the left side of the timezone
I live on the Greenwich median, so I'm good lol.
@@Charlie-et4td same lmfao
Dam Brits getting ride of my perfect timezone 5 years before independence
I live about 100km east from the Greenwich median...
...My time zone actually is this of Germany, UTC+1 in summer, +2 in winter (Toulouse, France)
Let's be honest. Your boss is the one killing you. He is the reason you have to wake up while it's still dark
No-one forces you to work for said boss. God bless capitalism and the freedom to choose your employer :)
Yeah, the real culprit here is not just timezones but also modern standardized working days. I would be much more effective if all of the things I needed to do happened an hour later, especially in winter
@@TheJukkis i work for myself :)
@@TheJukkis *laughs in monopsony employer*
Can't fire that boss!
I love Lubbock, that hurt a little but it's true. I remember the first time I spent the summer in Lubbock and even the difference in time from my hometown in East Texas to Lubbock...not getting dark till after 10 o'clock really threw me for a loop.
the amount of love Lubbock is getting in this video
“Clean, uniform hour increments”
Newfoundland: am I a joke to you?
Afghanistan too. (UTC+4:30) FYI: If you cross the border into China it is a difference of 3 and a half hours.
The Chatham Islands in New Zealand has its own time zone and is 45 minutes ahead of the rest of the country (except when the rest of the country is on daylight saving, then the Chathams are 15 minutes behind the rest of the country)
Yes.
Me at 5:30am watching this: ooohh, so thats why I'm always tired
I too wake up at 5 a.m. every day. So much caffeine.
3:06 what’s wrong with Lubbock Texas and Pensacola they both have actully better names then a lot of other city’s and towns across America.
Kalamazoo has the coolest name in the United States! And Guadalajara has the coolest place name in Mexico!
I hate living on the right side, birds chirping at 4:45 am. I grew up in Boise, ID which is at the very left side of mountain time and loved it, light out at 7am and dark at 10pm in summer.
Edit: I live at the right side of EST now.
