It isn’t supposed to save energy. It was introduced as a way of maximising time for farmers.
In the winter months, when there were still tasks to be done on the farm, sunlight is available for less of the day. So the decision was made (back when agriculture was an important industry in England), to set the clocks back in winter so people’s daily routine didn’t have to change, but they still could make maximum possible use of available sunlight.

Instead of using your electricity you use sunlight and since it’s out longer your bill should be less.

You are turning your lights on for less time , so less energy wasted.

Because we don’t have to turn our lights on in our house until later at night.
Say we go to bed at 10pm and it gets dark at 7pm. Thats 3 hours of needing a light on. If it gets dark at 8pm, then you only need lights on for 2 hours.

Well I’m not exactly sure but my history teacher said that the daylight saving is supposed to “lengthen” the day. I guess we just have more sunlight, meaning that we don’t have to use more energy to light up things because the sun is going to “stay out longer”.

Theoretically if things don’t get dark as quickly, we will spend less energy on lights;crazy, I know. I am awake after dark, too.

Good question. What daylight savings time does is shift the pattern of people’s activities in a way that reduces energy consumption (a small amount). The reason is that people tend to be more active (at least as far as consuming energy goes) in the evenings than in the early morning. But, with daylight savings time, we tend to use lights less during the evening hours (among other things)–which does end up with slightly lower energy consumption.
