If you think Daylight Saving Time is a good idea , thank New Zealand scientist George Vernon Hudson and British builder William Willett . In 1895 , Hudson presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society , proposing a 2-hour shift forward in October and a 2-hour shift back in March . There was interest in the idea , but it was never followed through .
In 1905 , independently from Hudson , British builder William Willett suggested setting the clocks ahead 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April , and switching them back by the same amount on each of the four Sundays in September , a total of eight time switches per year .
