To help you deal with daylight saving time, you may have heard mnemonics such as "spring forward, fall back", or the terms "gain an hour" and "lose an hour". These terms are unfortunately confusing and appear at times to be in conflict, so here is a cheat sheet:
| Coming from | Going to || Occurs in | Clock adjustment | Lived experience | Analogous to |
| ----------- | -------- || --------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | -------------- |
| Standard | DST || Spring | "Spring forward" | "Lose an hour" | Traveling east |
| DST | Standard || Fall | "Fall back" | "Gain an hour" | Traveling west |
| Coming from | Going to | Occurs in | Clock adjustment | Lived experience | Analogous to |
| ----------- | -------- | --------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | -------------- |
| Standard | DST | Spring | "Spring forward" | "Lose an hour" | Traveling east |
| DST | Standard | Fall | "Fall back" | "Gain an hour" | Traveling west |
A useful gut-check for all this is to remember that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Traveling west would thus mean traveling with the Sun and experiencing more daylight—hence, "gaining an hour", and having to adjust your clock _backward_ to account for the extra time in your day.
