Here are two answers:

First, this process is known as Daylight Savings Time, which affords most people more sunlight during the daylight hours.

Second, it takes place at 2AM, apparently, because there are fewer people awake at that hour, so the impact is less severe. For example, in the spring, there is no 2AM hour: from 1:59AM the next minute is 3AM. And in the fall there are two 2AM hours: from 2:59AM, the next minute is 2AM.
