Love it or hate it, many of you lost an hour of sleep last night due to Daylight Saving Time? Worth It? Do you like it more/less now that Daylight Saving Time occurs earlier (and later) in the year?

D'ya know what, along with the majority of the world, I lost no sleep. My DST happens at the end of the month. Plus I already had Mother's Day, so when you ask about that, it will not be relevant either.

In fact, I went here. This page has a table of when various countries' clocks change for DST. North America & Canada are the only places where it happens on the Second Sunday in March**. Oh, and also the First Sunday in April? What, one date a year is not enough?

Clocks go back in October. When're yours going back, so I can remember to suggest it for a future QotD?

** In Paraguay, DST ends on the Second Sunday in March.

[this is good]

lmao. All these time zones and we all exist at the same time, no? lol

BST (British Summer Time) starts on Sunday 30 March this year and ends on my birthday, 26th October (so I should be able to remember that!). It always ends around the time of my birthday though, which has been a boon to my mother as she has a mind like a sieve.

In India, there is no DST..I find it mighty confusing!
