Here’s why and when the clocks will go forward on Sunday morning

Carl Kinsella

clocks going back

The clocks going forward and backward is the kind of thing many of us take for granted…

On Sunday morning at 1am the clocks will jump forward, meaning that at 00:59:59 tomorrow morning, the world will skip an hour out of nowhere and roll right over into 2am.

This, of course, means that we will all lose an hour of sleep on Sunday morning — but the good news is that we’re entering “grand stretch in the evening” territory, so get ready to hear a lot of that for the next several months.

The whole point of Daylight Savings Time is so we get more daylight for our buck over the summer months, so once you get over the pain of losing that hour’s sleep then it should be easy enough to look on the bright-side.
