How we remember- FALL back
SPRING ahead, as to which way we turn our clocks.
We always change ours the night before we go to bed.

Not trying to do a stand-up routin here, but that saying has always confused
me. Think about it:

Picture a spring. Pull on a spring. When you let go, it springs BACK. Not
forward! When a spring is BEING a spring, it springs back.

I can see why you feel this way. There is something I can't remember
now that always seems backwards from the way it should be.

Pretend the spring is part of a pogo stick and you're springing ahead.

When you are walking, if you were to fall, 99 times out of 100, you fall
FORWARD. Whether walking down the street or off a cliff. You don't fall
backwards, do you???

Pretend you're losing the battle and your commanding officer tells you
to fall back.
