Most people don't know how to handle DST and waste it.  is is termed 
"saving" time for a reason.  You can save it if you open an account and 
put some in instead of using it every day.  I did it years ago and have 
hundreds of hours to use as desired.  Great on vacation, I can stay on 
the beach until late and just use some of my save hours of daylight to 
enjoy it.
