When do we change our clocks march 9th and back or forwards?

Question

When do we change our clocks march 9th and back or forwards?

Answer 1

Daylight savings takes place at night as to cause the least disruption to daily activities.  You turn your clock ahead (lose an hour of evening daylight) in the Spring.  

This annual loss of evening sunlight is just more evidence of the power of man over Mother Nature (like man-made global warming).

Answer 2

Forward.

Spring forward

Fall back

Answer 3

For changing between standard time and daylight-savings time, there is a little mnemonic:  "Spring forward; fall back."

Answer 4

Spring is coming

change it 1 hour forward

for instance

it's 4:31am now change it to 5:31am

try remembering it by saying

"Fall backward Spring forward"

that's easy to remember :)

Answer 5

At 12am it becomes 1am.  You  FALL back and SPRING ahead.

Answer 6

It's supposed to be at 2am, and you set it an hour forward.

"fall back, spring forward"

Answer 7

Spring Back - Fall Forward.

Easy to remember because you would hurt your back if you Fall backwards.

Answer 8

Answer 9

spring forawd

Answer 10

Spring ahead, Fall back. That's how you remember.

Answer 11

It is Sat., March 8th., but really it is around 2 A.M. on Sun. March 9th., so most people say Sat. night and you spring ahead and lose an hour sleep.

Answer 12

Set it FORWARD an hour before you go to bed.  The official time change occurs at 2:00 AM.

By starting the day an hour earlier, you take advantage of the daylight longer.  You have more daylight productive hours, and it actually cuts electricity usage.

Where I live, it's often light enough to not need lights on in the house until about 9:00 PM (at the mid summer point), so lights are on for a short period of time before bed.

In the winter time, when the days are short, we go back to "Standard Time".  Otherwise, we would be in the dark until 9:00 AM.  We can't have children going to school in the dark, now can we?!

Answer 13
