 When we change our clocks
Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2:00 a.m. on
the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on
the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a
different time.
In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal
Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the
last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same
moment.

Spring forward, Fall back
During DST, clocks are turned forward an hour, effectively moving an hour
of daylight from the morning to the evening.

US calculator valid 1976-2099; EU 1996-2099. Change with up/down key. Date
change in 2007
On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of
2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in
the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March
and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report
the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert
the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department
of Energy study is complete. Spelling and grammar
The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.
Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time
and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the
activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar
examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a
verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.
Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more
mellifluously off the tongue. Daylight Savings Time is also in common
usage, and can be found in dictionaries. Adding to the confusion is that
the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is
actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not as
politically desirable.
