How do we figure we get an extra hour sleep?   Are we not getting up an hour earlier????

  P.C. lets say you go to bed at 10pm you usually get up around 6. Thats eight hours. But since the clock goes back an hour at 2am you will get 9 hrs.

I wonder how many trees it takes to produce every copy of the New York Times which are printed throughout the year.

  If I go to be at 10pm and get up at 6 that's 8 hours....correct.  But tonight if I go to bet at 10pm (sort of 9pm) and get up at 6....that too is really 5am.  No?

I'm thinking that I won't go to bed at 10pm, because I'll be telling myself it's only 9pm.  So technically I'll be going to bed at 11.

  Hahahhahahaaaaaa....all I know is, my body clock doesn't care what you do the real clocks.

No sweetie this is put the clocks back an hour, during the spring its put the clocks forward thats when you lose an hour, here you gain one.

I'm on top of the 'spring-forward, fall-back concept.  I'm just not convinced I gain any sleep time.  I just know that when I get up at 5:30 tomorrow.....it really is 6:30 but for that someone messed with my clock.
