When we change our clocks

Since 1966, most of the United States has observed Daylight Saving Time from at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. Beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

Spring forward, Fall back

During DST, clocks are turned forward an hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.

Thanks for the reminder, I almost forgot. A lot of the time I will forget and then see the little message on my computer when I fire it up the next day !oops!

I'm an airhead.
 
I forgot about that. Thank you for reminding us to do that. It always takes me a few days to adjust to the new time.
 
Oh wow! I get an extra hour of midterm studying tonight? I totally forgot.
 
When are we going to do away with this practice? Is there really any legitimate reason to still do it?
 
Oh I'd forgot. Yeay another hour in bed!
 
And don't forget to change the battery in your smoke detector
 
:grrr: It should have ended the first weekend in October. It's dark until 7:00am all month. So because it's dark when I get up I have to turn on all the lights! Could someone please explain how extending DST so that it is darker even longer in the morning and you have to turn on all the lights is supposed to save any energy?
 
I love it when I get to put the clock back an hour. :mrgreen:

It's so much easier to adjust to than losing that hour in the spring. Bah! :mad:
 
I hate changing back in the Fall.

Now it will be dark when I come home from work. :mad:
 
I agree, I do nto see what DST offers in any benefits, just messes everyone up.

I have 3 smoke detectors, and I never change the batteries until they start beeping. They usually start in the middle of the night and wake me up. I am irritated to no end when a new battery doesn't stop the beeping.

I, for one, will be glad DST is over for this year. I hate getting up in the dark to get ready for work.
 
Look on the Bright side from 21 December it starts getting lighter again

Croynan's heading Time To Set Your Clock Back Again perhaps should have read simply Time To Set Your Clock Again - without the word "back"!

Not all JUBbers live in the USA! This is the WORLD wide web, remember - and, as noted by Stroker1 below, those in my corner of the globe set our clocks FORWARD!

John, not all Jubbers who live in your corner of the globe set their clocks FORWARD! This morning it was the turn of Victoria, ACT, New South Wales and South Australia. Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia do not have DST. Clocks stay the same. Tasmania has been on summertime for a month already so nobody down there will be setting there clocks forward this weekend.

All this clocksetting in Australia causes the odd bit of inconvenience. Instead of having 3 times zones as we normally have during winter, Aussies now have 5 - 6 if you count the people out on the Nullarbor who seem to set their own time. And the madness at Kununurra in Western Australia's far north where it gets dark at 5pm and the sun rises at 2.30 or 3am!

One of the heaviest concentrations of people in Australia is in the area immediately north and south of the Queensland/New South Wales border - the Gold Coast/Tweed area. Drive south across an imaginery line and the time changes from 10am to 11am, and vice versa.

All this extra daylight makes the curtains fade LOL
 
OK....

Here's the deal:

I can never quite wrap my mind around this concept.

We have this great clock built into our stereo receiver in our bedroom, that
gently wakes us up each and every morning with whatever CD we chose... But, the
bitch of it is...the button that changes the time is broken, so, it's perpetually
stuck in daylight saving time.

So, let's think about this.... If I can't change the time, I can change the alarm.... But...do I change it ahead, or backward ? Example: Let's say I go to bed at 1AM, and want to wake up at 7:30 AM....

Mmmk, what was once 1AM is now midnight, so that means I should shove the alarm UP an hour, to 8:30 AM... But wait, that's not right...we're gaining an hour, not losing one....So, I should shove it BACK an hour and set it for 6:30AM, which now of course 7:30AM, because of the hour gain....

Oww, my head.
