No, you get an extra hour in fall. The clock goes from 2 to 2:59, then back to 2 again.

You lose sleep in the spring, when the clock goes from 1:59 to 3.

ummm, you gain an hour of sleep sweetums.....like when I woke up this morning in a drunken haze thinking it was 1:00 in the afternoon.......and then realizing that it was only noon.....thus, going back to sleep for another hour.

I'd like to get rid of it as well. It really plays havok with my fellow insomniac's time clock. We can thank Ben Franklin for the dubious daylight saving time.

I'm all for getting rid of it.

exactly, not to mention that they have it backwards! (you need more light in the fall when it's darker normally)

seriously though, why cause all this trouble if they like DST so much just leave it, or leave it at regular time

It's because otherwise it gets light at like 3-4 in the morning during the summer... so we tack that on to the end of the day instead. But there's no getting extra light out of the winter months if it's dark at morning and again at 6pm
