Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

"Great, we could sleep one hour more" can you explain this? I have no idea how the season determines how many hours of sleep everyone gets in a day,

When we switch to DST, we "Fall Back. ". We set the clocks one hour back, at 2:00am Sunday, so basically we get an extra hour of sleep just on that night. Then we lose one when we set the clocks forward in the spring.

To be fair, I don't think that extra hour, once in the Fall, is used as a reason for Daylight Savings in any debates.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about places that changed time; I thought it was something just related to winter itself, hence the confusion. Thanks!

No, DST is springing forward. Winter time is the notmal time.
