the clocks change at 2am saturday night (so tonight) so once it hits 2am, it'll be 1am again.... i dont know why they cant just leave the time alone!
So farmers can work and children can walk to school safer.
It was originaly done because at 5am its to dark for farmers in the winter so with daylight savings at 5am its the lightness of 6am and mornings is when farmers have most of their work to do.
Without it come further into winter children would be walking to school pretty much in the dark in the middle of traffic rush hour, walking home isnt as bad because its in the middle of the day before most traffic hits the roads
