Neither, technically since we move ahead and move back the time equals out. However, if you look at it from the tiem we jumped ahead to the time we are jumping back, sometimes you can either gain or loose a few minutes here and there. Like if you move the clock ahead in the spring at 1:30am but fall back in October at 2:00am, a few minutes are lost or gained.
Now in a Leap Year, a few minutes are actually gained by this process.

Taking in consideration that early SUNDAY morning most clocks will be set back one hour, that will mean this coming Sunday will actually be 1 hour longer (25 hours). All days after that will be the normal 24 hours in length. However, most people will feel we lost an hour because the sun is now setting 1 hour earlier.

Neither.
We don't actually lose or gain any time, its just that the clocks, which measure the passage of time in an entirely arbitrary way - are recalibrated.
If you took out a thermometer and decided that 100 was now 90, you wouldnt have changed the temperature.......

We gain an hour.
Let's say we change the clocks at 2 a.m, as we should. We turn it back an hour and we have an extra hour before its 2 a.m. all over again

It depends when the very first time the clocks were changed whether it was in the spring or summer. If it was in the spring(forward), then we gain it back. If it was in the autumn, then it is GIVEN back in the spring! Ugh! Does that make sense? I know what I mean!

We gain an hour. At 2:00 am on Sunday morning it becomes 1:00 am - therefore gives us an extra hour.

We just break even by getting back the hour that we lost earlier on in the year.
Anyway the clocks change on Sunday, not Saturday.

We gain an hour on the night but overall it evens itself out over the year.

Neither, time goes on at the same speed, it is just our means of measuring time which changes, and we waste more time moving clocks etc back in the autumn than we waste putting them forward in the spring.
