While your addendum about "while we are awake" makes sense, that's what he said. And your "while we are at work" part doesn't make sense to me.

I have a feeling that most of us get up a few hours before work. We aren't using much electricity before work, and no matter what the sun is doing, we're using the same amount of electricity while at work no matter what hour hours are, because lights are always on in office buildings and stores, day or night.
What Daylight Savings does is it puts us in our offices an hour earlier. That means we're also going to sleep an hour earlier, meaning that more of our after-work time is filled with daylight, and thus a reduced need for electric light. So, when it's light after work and dark before it (or while whe head to work), we're using less electricity.
