    Because the powers that be decided that 2 a.m. on Sunday morning causes the least confusion, for example with overnight trains.

    You don't have to stay awake until 2 a.m., you can change your clock before you go to bed or, if you don't have to work on Sunday, when you wake up.

  • Few people will likely wake up exactly at 2:00 a.m. local time to move the clock hand, or dial, forward an hour.
