Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

Spring forward, Fall back

In the U.S., restaurants and bars have various closing policies. In many states, liquor cannot be served after 2:00 a.m. But at 2:00 a.m. in the fall, the time switches back one hour. So, can they serve alcohol for that additional hour in October? The official answer is that the bars do not stop serving liquor at 2:00 a.m., but actually at 1:59 a.m. So, they have already stopped serving when the time changes from Daylight Saving Time into Standard Time. In practice, however, many establishments stay open an extra hour in the fall.

In the U.S., 2:00 a.m. was originally chosen as the changeover time because it was practical and minimized disruption. Most people were at home and this was the time when the fewest trains were running. It is late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and it prevents the day from switching to yesterday, which would be confusing. It is early enough that the entire continental U.S. switches by daybreak, and the changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers are affected.

For the U.S. and its territories, Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and Arizona. The Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, even in Arizona, due to its large size and location in three states.

How nice... Your Forum actually has a useful public service announcement... <_<

As far as I'm concerned, I really don't look forward to that time change, because I hate to get up at 2:00 AM to set my NINE clocks and my watch... :angry:

Why didn't they pick 9:00 PM? Because that's the time I usually go to bed... :o :angry:

:no: set ure clock back 1 hour before u go to :sleeping: and when u wake up set it ahead 2 hours :yes: then u dont loose any sleep.no worries mate. :hysterical: :hysterical:

Well, I can't stay up any longer.
I know it is about an hour too soon, but I went ahead and set my clocks to new time and going to bed.
