I reset the clocks in the afternoon while I still have the strength! 
I have one wall clock in every room of the house, except my bedroom. I have an alarm clock by my bed. I plan on getting a wall clock too. 
All the clocks are battery except the one in the spare bedroom. I like to always have one electric so I can keep track of when and how long the power goes out.
I have never been too early or too late due to the time change.
No curtains on our windows. We live in the woods, with no close neighbors. I do have shades that can be pulled down in the bedrooms, but they are seldom used.
No candy except what I usually eat. I need to quit doing that, it is aggravating my digestive problems.

I wait until the morning change the clocks.  Too much of a chore the night before.
Mixture of blinds, cafes, floor length lace curtains and bare wimdows. Mostly to keep sun out. Live in the woods with no close neighbors.
Had some tootsie rolls ready. They are still here.  No trick or treaters.
Hello everyone........

I'll do it in the morning.
What do you have covering your windows (curtains, blinds etc)?
Either, depending on the room. Mostly curtains.
How much candy did you really eat last night?
Only two pieces! That's way less than I normal have.

Well that will certainly brighten my day!

Before I go to bed. The car clock doesn't get changed since I could be going east or west into another time zone any day.
Have you ever forgotten to "spring ahead" or "fall back" and ended up being late or early for something ? Not that I can remember.
What do you have covering your windows (curtains, blinds etc)?
Blinds, sheers, and drapes. I have not hung the insulated panels yet that will go next to the glass.
How much candy did you really eat last night     ?
I am very proud to say I didn't eat one single piece! I did eat three cookies.

Mr. VA takes care of the clocks. The one in our bedroom before we go to bed and the rest at will.
When our children were younger we forgot to change the clocks a lot. Would end up at church an hour early or late. Someone is always getting to church at the wrong time on this change weekend.
I have drapes and curtains but the only ones that stay closed are the bedroom curtains. Mr. VA's bathroom window doesn't have anything and the patio sliding glass door drape is not up yet. I may have to hire someone to come in and do those two windows, I have the drapes for the patio window and the curtain for the bathroom and I bought a rod, but it has been so long ago, I have no idea where it is. I may have to buy another one. The patio rod is a long story. Our back yard is totally private with trees.

I would turn the clocks back before going to bed. It's great to sleep in another hour!

Today's Question:
Do you turn your clocks back before you go to bed or when you get up in the morning ?
Always before I go to bed. The clocks in the car however, get changed whenever I get a moment (usually a couple of days later.)
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever forgotten to "spring ahead" or "fall back" and ended up being late or early for something ?
Nope, although I remember one fall. I went to open the gas station I was assistant manager at and there were a bunch of customers outside who had forgotten to change their clocks. They were a little upset to realize they had missed out on an hour of sleep.
Bonus Question:
What do you have covering your windows (curtains, blinds etc)?
Both. Some windows have curtains, some have blinds, and a few have both on them. Pretty much whatever was on the windows when I moved in are still on the windows. I did buy new thermo curtains for the bay window in my living room though, because the little lace curtains the previous owners had were a joke.
Extra Bonus Question:
How much candy did you really eat last night     ?
Actually not too much. I had probably 8 starbursts. Oh and 1 piece of homemade Cranberry Fudge.
