Daylight savings time saves what exactly?

Not my photo

Clicking on a link where I found a link to another link and so it goes...


Those who know me well know I have huge issues with daylight saving time. Yes, it is nice to have longer evenings, but it's so unnatural! My personal gripe stems from not having the sun where I expect it to be at noon. It takes me ages to adjust.


Why did it then come as such a surprise when I found an article on wildlife deaths due to daylight savings time?

In short, animals that usually use the quieter hours of the morning to cross busy roads suddenly find themselves in peak traffic. As a result, many are killed, at least, until they, like me, finally adjust their own 'clocks' to our manipulation.


Can someone tell me why we really Need DST??
