Okay, for PST peoples like myself, you should set your GMT clocks in here to 8 hours. It was 2 a.m., but my clock jumped back to 1 a.m. Ugh, it's gonna get dark by 5 p.m. now and I'm gonna haaaate it!

Yep. more sleep for me.

Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. It has its origin in farming, because crops don't grow in the winter so there is no need for the extra hour of daylight.

Really? Sweden has had Daylight Sav... err... Winter time () since 1980, however it was tried once in 1916 (i think) but it didn't catch on because the farmers was complaining...

And I thought it was the winter time that was the "real" time..?

Oh yeah, I was quite relieved that an extra hour was added to my day; didn't find out about it until I turned my computer on, though.
