There are several versions of how Daylight Savings Time was enacted. Some say it was Benjamin Franklin in 1784, he wrote a satirical essay regulating people wake up early.  Then you have George Hudson, who suggested a two-hour clock rollback in 1895. The suggestion was inspired by his passion for collecting bugs, as he wanted more light after work to gather insects. Finally, William Willet, who wrote a pamphlet in 1907 that encouraged moving clocks forward in the spring so that people could get out of bed earlier. Lighter and longer days were supposed to save energy, reduce the number of traffic accidents and help people be more active.
