We get the same amount of hours each day--longer amounts of daytime as we progress towards the longest day of the year (around June 20 or June 21) and shorter amounts of daytime as we hit the longest day and start traveling towards the shortest day of the year (around December 20 or December 21) at which time the days start growing longer again.
Daylight Savings Time doesn't make the day longer--it only makes the time different by one hour so that it will seem as if it's getting darker/brighter earlier/later than the day before.
It's an illusion such as using a smaller plate to make you seem as if you're getting more food--and the ridiculous thing of only eating half of what's on your plate and throwing out the other half in hopes of losing weight. All that does is waste food and have you spending twice as much on groceries.
The smaller plate illusion is, imo, a great idea. However, let me warn you that, if you EVER did the latter when I was the one buying the food, I would be very tempted to invite you back to another dinner party; tell you not to serve yourself like the other guests due to having trouble managing food; and, then, serve you a single green bean while saying that, when you ate it, I would put another bite of food on your plate if you wanted it.
