I set mine before I go to bed that night.  That way I don't have to get up at 2am to do it!  I need all the beauty sleep I can get!!! LOL!! ;D :D

Glad I saw this post. Didn't know when it was.  I will miss the daylight hour at night. Hate driving home in the dark.

When exactly does this happen?  I thought it usually happens in October but didn't see it on the calendar so I thought maybe it already happened because my computer and cell phone change automaticly.  I heard someone else mention it but didn't know when exactly it is supose to happen

I'll be at work so I get an extra hour of work. Yay! So, I'll do mine about 1am or so. It's the "spring forward" thing I hate when I lose an hour of work.

Yes I change the clocks before I go to bed so I don't have to change them the next day.

It now happens in the U.S. on the first Sunday in November and the 2nd Sunday in March. Spring forward, Fall back is a way many people remember what to do. In the spring, we "spring forward" is to mean we set the clocks ahead one hour. Fall back is to mean then we set our clock back one hour in the fall. I am so glad I now live in Phoenix, AZ where we do not have to deal with this non-sense.
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

Although I am grateful for the extra hour of sleep I hate the shorter days. I usually set my clocks back early evening the day before. If I don't do it in the early evening I most likely will forget to do it till the next day. Can't wait to we spring ahead! :wave: :peace:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

I dislike it getting dark so early, always makes it feel later than it is. :-[

We always set it before bed.  I am looking forward to it being lighter in the morning due to the time change.  It's absolutely impossible to get my kids up in the dark.  I also preferred the time change in October as opposed to November.

I agree with Arizona and Hawaii that one standard time is just fine all year long.  I don't care which one it is because I can adjust to either but I sincerely wish they would pick one and stay with it.  I guess my preference would be regular time because I have little need for daylight at 9:00pm.
