Remember it this way Spring *forward* and Fall *back* . Yep an
extra hour in bed this time. Unfornately it takes some folk that
extra hour just to adjust all their clocks, watches and timers. :)

Yes, I was taught that you want to be up and about in Spring time so
you get another hour to do it.
It's dark and cold in winter so you want another hour in bed :-)

I can think of other reasons you may want to spend an hour longer in bed on
a Sunday morning. ;)
