Western France, Spain, and other areas skew time zones and shift clocks, in effect observing DST in winter with an extra hour in summer
For example, Nome, Alaska, is at 165° 24' W longitude, which is just west of center of the idealized Samoa Time Zone (165° W), but Nome observes Alaska Time (135° W) with DST, so it is slightly more than two hours ahead of the sun in winter and three in summer.
DST is generally not observed near the equator, where sunrise times do not vary enough to justify it
Some countries observe it only in some regions; for example, southern Brazil observes it while equatorial Brazil does not.
Only a minority of the world's population uses DST because Asia and Africa generally do not observe it.

William Willett independently proposed DST in 1907 and advocated it tirelessly.
Willett's 1907 proposal argued that DST increases opportunities for outdoor leisure activities during afternoon sunlight hours
The longer days nearer the summer solstice in high latitudes offer more room to shift daylight from morning to evening so that early morning daylight is not wasted.
General agreement about the day's layout confers so many advantages that a standard DST schedule usually outranks ad hoc efforts to get up earlier, even for people who personally dislike the DST schedule.
DST's potential to save energy comes primarily from its effects on residential lighting, which consumes about 3.5% of electricity in the U.S. and Canada.
Delaying the nominal time of sunset and sunrise reduces the use of artificial light in the evening and increases it in the morning
As Franklin's 1784 satire pointed out, lighting costs are reduced if the evening reduction outweighs the morning increase, as in high-latitude summer when most people wake up well after sunrise
An early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity.
Energy usage patterns have greatly changed since then, and recent research is limited and reports contradictory results
Electricity use is greatly affected by geography, climate, and economics, making it hard to generalize from single studies.
The U.S. of Transportation (DOT) concluded in 1975 that DST might reduce the country's electricity usage by 1% during March and April,
In 2000 when parts of Australia began DST in late winter, overall electricity consumption did not decrease, but the morning peak load and prices increased.
