***CLOCKS BACK THIS WEEKEND***

Never understood how this is supposed to help as "Spring back, Fall forward" would make just as much sense.

Logically yes, you could just as easily spring back as you could fall forwards but from word associations a fall back position is much more common and arguably springing forwards is also more common. That's why I'd guess it works or perhaps even more simply that the phrase has been repeated enough.
 
I am working sunday, so need to getup for 6:30am, which is when I set my alarm on
(htc desire)for. I am off to bed soon and am wondering have I set it up correctly (7:30am) so I wake up to the new correct time ?
Another thought regarding this is will the phone auto change the time as in go back one hour once it hits 2am ? (this would make me late by 1 hour) any thoughts on this ? cant find anything in the settings to disable this.

I think we should move them forward 2 hours next spring. That way we'll have daylight until 11, but it will still be light for 7.

Screw that, this clock changing gets on my nerves. I say we should abolish the whole thing, I don't give a crap if it gets dark too early. In fact, I'm off to the 'unpopular opinions' thread right now.
 
Did Apple ever fix the fact their iPhone alarm clock fails to work with daylight savings changes?

The worst thing about it all is you will wake up, look at the time and STILL wont know whether it's right or not :D

I'm with you. The endless whining over this topic every year is unreal. I like dark evenings in the winter and the last thing I want is for it to still be quite light at 11pm in mid June. :eek: Some of us have to get up early and work. Heading in to work at 5:30 during the summer and having the sun up almost makes it bearable.
 
This is weird. We move the clocks back, we lose 1hour of life, so hack our bodys to be in time for the new hour.

We move the clocks forward we gain the 1hour back.

This country owes us an hour from now till they go forward?
