you don't get an extra hour... the daylight hours remain exactly the same... the only thing that changes are the hands on your watch/clock.

So here's what I don't get... (and yes, I admit I come from a very different perspective, as a farmer, who doesn't go by the hands on a clock).... if you go to work at 8am during Daylight Savings time then why not simply go to work at 7am during standard time..it's the SAME THING!!!!! - JamesJM
