Clocks forward folks; off into BST we go.

    For one beautiful moment when I looked at the time this morning I thought I had caught up on some sleep.

    In this day in age I don’t know why we still do this. Like just keep it one way or the other 🤣

    Wait North American and UK doesnt (edit: fixed gammar) even do DST at the same time? I thought that was half the point of it,so ‘everyone’ stays the same as always. I swear I’ve heard about ditching DST for years here in BC Canada but still had that week from hell earlier this month.

    I guess there’s an argument that UK and North America are far enough off that it doesn’t matter, but I just hate time change. Actually I hate most change but this seems worse cause it’s government mandated twice a year. When I was partying it was fun to have an extra hour once per year but I’m old now.

      Not quite - you’re trying to move your sleeping and waking schedules 1 hour earlier.

      It’s a rough one unless you’re already an early riser.

      When the clocks go back, however, you’re moving things 1 hour later, which is a lot easier!
