The current plan was written in the law by President Johnson in 1966 as the Uniform Time Act. Last year, summer time was extended by four weeks. Despite the TV prime-time schedule is a "relic of the technology of Radio transmission "- it was created when signals could not be broadcast across the country - it remains a powerful cue. Reflecting on his own timetable weekday television, Hamermesh recalled," I lived for twenty years in the Eastern Time zone, I used to remain open until 11:45 pm, the monologue on the Tonight Show. Living in Texas, I typically the lights at 10:45 pm, when the monologue is done. "
For their study, the authors focus on information provided by the unprecedented Bureau of Labor Statistics' American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which would enable them to observe how the Americans split their time between their three most time-consuming activities: work, sleep and television. After merging with ATUS sunrise and data, the authors found that while natural daylight patterns have some impact on the lives of human samples, the demands of the global economy - market openings, etc - and regelmaige demarcate television schedule, Most of the limits of American life. Hamermesh says he and his colleagues were "astonished how little daylight questions today, and how much time zones artificial matter." In the case of the escapees, as Arizona's unique time-patterns, residents tend to their work and sleep patterns to an adjacent zone. Hamermesh, Myers, and Pocock concluded that, while the "natural daylight Cue has some impact on the timing� totally artificial Cue the timing of the television has graere impact." They also noted that the courts, such as Hawaii and Arizona, that they are "not before Spring" can be found with the timetable for their neighbours, another sign that the coordination is an artificial signals, and not natural as the sun Cues .
