Daylight Savings Time Saves Energy

One of the reasons why we change our clocks to Daylight Savings Time is that it saves energy. Energy use and the demand for electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. When we go to bed, we turn off the lights, television, gaming systems, and other electrical appliances which saves energy. Studies show that we save one percent of energy each day with Daylight Savings Time.We also use less energy during this time because people usually plan more outdoor activities rather than staying in their homes.
