Answer: Yes—you likely gained an extra hour of sleep. Details:
- In many regions that observe daylight saving time, clocks were set back by one hour when DST ended this past weekend. For those on a typical schedule, that means you gained one hour of rest on the night of the change (the clock moved from 2:00 am back to 1:00 am). If you slept through the change or woke before the adjustment, you might not notice a full hour added to your sleep window, but the official time shift did provide an extra hour in the morning for most people.
- Some people report mixed experiences around the change: while the night itself offers an extra hour, sleep quality and circadian rhythms can be affected, so the perceived amount of extra sleep may vary day-to-day.
If you want to confirm for your local area, check:
- The exact DST end time for your time zone (often 2:00 am local time, clocks fall back to 1:00 am).
- Any local exceptions or regions that do not observe DST.
If you’d like, I can tailor this to your country or city and explain how to adjust your sleep schedule to minimize disruption in the coming days.
