Actually the Daylight Savings Time was originally made (at least here) to save energy. Not to be "nice" to working people, but to minimize the amount of time where they had to use electric lights. First time Denmark had Daylight Savings Time was during World War 2 (and possibly World War One, I'm not too sure about that) Then it was cancelled again until 1985 - there was a Royal Decree no. 636 from 9.November 1984 which officially reinstated it from the year 1985 :o) Of course things like that gets more useful the further you get north (or south for those on the southern hemisphere) as days get longer in summer and making people get up an hour earlier when it's light anyway. Since 1984, the dates has been moved several times. Back when it started, DST ended around my birthday in September, now it's not until October. But the start has been more or less fixed to the last weekend in March :o)
