Changing the clocks doesn't have a good explanation at any age. You don't "gain" more hours of daylight, you don't warp reality doing it. You just want to keep getting up as "insert arbitrary time you get up" year round so rather than adjust your alarm clock when the sun starts rising earlier or later in the day you... change your alarm clock anyway? Except instead of setting the alarm back an hour you set the clock back an hour.
