At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (Spring forward, even though Spring doesn't begin until late March, over a week after the start of Daylight Saving Time).
Daylight Shifting Time would be better, and Daylight Time Shifting more accurate, but neither is politically desirable. When in the morning? In the U.S., clocks change at 2:00 a.m. local time. In spring, clocks spring forward from 1:59 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. In the EU, clocks change at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time. In spring, clocks spring forward from 12:59 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. In the United States, Daylight Saving Time commences at 2:00 a.m. to minimize disruption. However, many states restrict bars from serving alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. At 2:00 a.m. in the fall, however, the time switches back one hour.
