DST increases opportunities for outdoor leisure activities during afternoon sunlight hours. The longer days nearer the summer solstice in high latitudes offer more room to shift daylight from morning to evening so that early morning daylight is not wasted.

Clocks go forward and back to accommodate Daylight Saving Time changes, which aim to make better use of natural daylight during longer days in the summer months. Going forward in the spring allows for more daylight in the evenings, while going back in the fall allows for more daylight in the mornings.
