We, i.e., those in the Central European Time zone, get to turn our clocks back an hour at 3:00 a.m. today/Sunday. Does your country have DST, and, if so, is the switchover tonight/this morning?

We have DST and it's so stupid! We changed a few weeks back I think, but it seems with YOUR DST time my time on TCS has become all screwed so I'm off to my CP to see what I can do about it!

Nope I just went and had a look and it is set to Wellington time but it is still an hour behind since I can't PM anyone I have to ask for help on here. What do I do?

I live in CA, and yes I do get to "fall back" tonight. I wonder how many churchgoers will forget and show up an hour early tomorrow? Better to show up early, than be late (like when we "spring forward").

Here in Michigan we do too....gaining that extra hour back that we lost last spring.
I LOVE DST! That means I can go down to the Shishewanna Flea Market (20 minutes over the Indiana line) anytime I want in the summer and get an extra hour later in the afternoon wandering around there.

Yup, the switchover is this weekend, specifically, at 2 am Sunday, we fall back an hour. Is it an extra hour sleep? Only if I don't succumb to the temptation to stay up an hour later

Yes, we in the UK get the extra hour tonight too. That means I can stay up an hour longer tonight, in my mind.

I always put off going to bed at the best of times. (I work 3 nights a week and my body clock objects when I try to go to bed) Now I have a good excuse.

We should change it at 2am too, but who really does? (Unless you work a night shift that night, how annoying must that be?)

I always change then as I go to bed.

I am so glad it is time to switch back. I don't like DST. I love it when it gets dark early. I am sure the kittybelly clock will not change with the time, so I still have to get up to feed the cats or they will starve to death. Poor things, they have missed soooo many meals!

I would get an extra hour if I didn't have a ridiculous internal clock.


It really only means I'll be waking up at 6am instead of 7am. Plus, Sylvester (who stands on us and requests breakfast every morning around 7am) won't know about it either.
