daylight time vs standard time
Daylight Saving vs. Standard Time. When including time zones, many writers in the United States prefer to specify whether it is Daylight Saving or Standard Time (abbreviated EDT and EST, respectively, for the Eastern time zone). Daylight Saving Time, which refers to when we âspring aheadâ by one hour, begins in the U.S. in late winter. It ends during fall when we switch to Standard Time by âfalling backâ one hour.
