Not for me.  I don't set my clock back until I get to work.

The Halloweenies might be out late. We haven't had even one trick-or-treater for at least 6 years.

Tis the digital age.  All my timepieces automatically reset for DST, except my coffee pot. Had to hit one button to bring the time to DST. Oh yea I also had to turn my cell phone off and back on to rest time.

Same here.

I waited until I woke up this morning to adjust my clock backward.  That way, I got to enjoy the extra hour and not simply sleep through it.

My computer, game consoles and such all change themselves and I can't be bothered to change the wall clocks. Actually I don't need to change the wall clocks as they're now correct again.

That's how we do it every DST.  :)  Otherwise it looks like I am being a loser and going to bed an hour earlier than usual on a Saturday night.

You aren't gaining an hour. Rather you are recapturing the hour lost at "spring ahead".  :tongue:
