Subject: Time: safe way to go to next day?

Hello,

    When i have a Time object, to get to next day i do: myTime += (60*60*24)
    Not very elegant, but it works and I didn't find a nicer way.
    well, i thought it worked...

    now we are going to change the time in europe...
    So it breaks my assumption...

    any proper way to fix it?
