Do a HABIT CHECK and make sure you don't miss Mincha, for example, when the clocks change. That 6:00pm routine won't work after the 23rd. Also notice that Sof Z'man Sh'ma and T'fila are an hour earlier. There are "religious" benefits and disadvantages to Summer Time and Winter Time, which differ from person to person. Things sort of balance themselves out so that religion should not be an argument as to when to change the clocks. Other factors should count. Right now, the country changes for Yom Kippur and the Pesach Seder. And that's kind of nice.
