Don't set your clocks back an hour this weekend or you'll have a lot of coworkers laughing at you on Monday morning. This year, Daylight Saving Time ends 2 a.m. the first Sunday in November, instead of the last Sunday in October.
For that, you can thank the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. To save energy, U.S. legislators set the stage then for 34 weeks of DST, beginning this year.
The savings "could be in the ballpark" of 1% of household consumption on a daily basis, said Rob Douglas, research officer at the time standards group of the National Research Council of Canada.
So it won't be until next week that everyone rolls back the hands of time -- everyone except Saskatchewan that is. The province stubbornly sticks with Central Standard Time, year round.

People who ask these questions should state which country they're in. Naturally the Americans here assume that everyone else is American, and perhaps you are, in which case it is next week. But if you're in the UK, set your clock back an hour right now!
If you're still confused when you wake up, switch on your PC and look at the bottom right corner of your screen.

It IS next Saturday. Some calendars still have it as tonight, but daylight saving time was extended, beginning this year. It starts a week earlier than it used to and ends a week later.
I hate that.

yes, it's been moved until next week. I'm so glad I live in AZ where we don't change our clocks. :)
