How did Benjamin Franklin come up with daylight savings?

He didn't; he just advocated that people should get up earlier in the summer to make more use of the daylight hours.

Willett campaigned long and hard for daylight saving time in Britain, and it was eventually introduced in that country in 1916, primarily to reduce the use of coal during the First World War.
