OK, I cheated and looked it up. (is lookng it up cheating?)
Hawaii does not observe DST.
And 2am was chosen because most bars are already closed.
And finally, Red-throated bugle hen.
The last one was the answer to another question you didn't ask, but if it comes up....

its the old railroad trains.
that is when the least were running at 2 am. So they would actually stop all trains for an hour to catch up to the clocks.
