While its not clear why daylight-savings is used it clearly has its advantages and drawsbacks. Its said to reduce the usage of energy consumption because of the extra sunlight. Another advantage of this practice is that businesses and retailers benefit from increase of sales.

The plan gives us a later sunset so the daylight lasts longer. Doing so saved daylight hours so that during World War I, when it was implemented, war time production could continue later in the day, thus saving energy. In 1966, Daylight Savings Time became more uniform. It allows us to use less energy in the early evening by taking advantage of the longer daylight hours.
