I have never quite grasped the logic behind "springing ahead" to make more daylight during the summer, when the sun stays up longer in the northern hemisphere anyway, and "falling back" in the fall when the sun sets earlier. To me, it would be much more logical to do the opposite.
I believe that the accident rate following the time changes is much higher.
Try as they may, there are still only 24 hrs in a day. I'm glad too, because if the day were longer, my employer would feel that they automatically had the rights to any additional time.

Instead of sunrise at 5AM and setting at 8, we get sunrise at 6 and setting at 9. This allows for more evening recreational activities.
