Tired of Daylight-Saving Time Confusion? Just Opt Out

Stefano Pavone from Swindon, England, lives year-round on Greenwich Mean Time, the original standard time. He wears a watch on each wrist as a protest when the U.K. shifts to daylight-saving time from spring until fall. He says he has slept better since making the switch four years ago. “I just need to remember which one to look at when I have an appointment,” he says.

Since 1972, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) has been called Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It is maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). It is also known as "Z time" or "Zulu Time".
