Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

Spring forward, Fall back

During DST, clocks are turned forward an hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.

On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

It is always the last weekend in October and the clocks go back. The clocks go forward the last weekend in March, (think forward to the spring, lambs bounding forward)

At 2 AM Sunday the 29th, it becomes 1 AM again.

Fall Back, Spring Forward

So in the fall you end up with a 25 hour day and in the spring you have a 23 hours day.

"Spring Forward, Fall Back" is the phrase to remember for British summer time.

To use the Amercan way of rememering:
Spring forward; Fall back
Clocks go back early hours of Sunday morning so suggest you set at least one back before you go to sleep Saturday night
