No, you weren't supposed to change your clocks overnight.

Search trends on Google Sunday morning suggested widespread confusion about things like "when does the time change" and " time change fall 2008" -- no doubt because from 1986 until 2006, the final Sunday in October was indeed the day when clocks were supposed to "fall back" at 2 a.m.

For many Americans, the cause of confusion might be so-called "smart" appliances that were designed to make the change automatically but that proved downright dumb when it came to adapting to changes included in an energy bill passed by Congress in 2005.

Widespread publicity accompanied the law's impact last fall. But this year -- so far, at least until you read this story -- warnings about its possible implications for computers, VCRs and other appliances have been rare. So: Daylight-saving time ends NEXT weekend, the first Sunday in November, and returns the second Sunday in March, when clocks will "spring forward," and confusion will probably reign again.

Do whatever Canada does, this only affects the USA.

I always get confused by this. Say it is five o'clock... will I be changing it to four o'clock or six o'clock?

Spring ahead... fall back.

Turn your clocks "ahead" one hour in the "spring"... turn them "back" one in the "fall".

Spring forward. Fall back. That's how I remember it. so 5pm would turn into 4pm

Considering they started this LAST fall why would anyone feel like they needed to turn their clocks back today?
