Daylights savings time doesn't make any sense at all
When it gets to be 2A Sunday 25 October, I'm supposed to set my clock back to 1 AM
Yeah. Riiiight
An hour later, what time is it gonna be?
It's gonna be 2A Sunday 25 October, when I'm supposed to set my clock back to 1 AM
And an hour after that, what time is it gonna be?
Yep
It's gonna be 2A Sunday 25 October ...
It's like a national recipe for the movie Groundhog Day
ON EDIT: I see this whole "Independence from Britain" thing has confused me again, and our friends across the pond are setting their clocks back today, but we're setting ours back on 1 November. So never mind right now: maybe I'll complain again next week
= new reply since forum marked as read
It's next week. "Spring Forward, Fall Behind". I work overnights, so I'd have to work 9 hours instead of 8. But I have that night off. 
It's called "Lazy" 
Like Sk. We'll let the rest of you worry about 'changing the clock'. One of our first social democratic governments established this rule and interestingly, only rightwing/business hacks try to get this changed every few years. They say it is better for business....
When I was a kid, going to school at 10 AM, turned out to be very damaging.

The theory being that if the earth continued to rotate at the same rate (It does, but we call the daily 'reappearance' of the sun 'sunrise', because that's what it looks like to us, when it's really just when we can see it again in each period of 24 hours of light and dark that we experience due to the earth's rotation.) we could save some electricity (money) used for lighting if we started our day earlier in the summer when we perceived the sun to 'come up' earlier.
This initially caused great confusion and consternation amongst the American populace that persists today.
Most often heard: "What time is it REALLY?"
Radio comedians of the time found this to be great source material for gags and jokes.
The Brits got the jump on everybody else in 1884 by establishing Greenwich (Grennich) Mean Time.

But that's a whole 'nuther thang.
It's all been downhill from there.
What time ya got?
P.S. Nobody wears wrist watches (1571 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_timekeeping_devices#Wristwatch) anymore. They just look at their cellphone.
