Daylight saving time ends
It’s that time of year again. Daylight saving ends at 3am this coming Sunday 6 April. As always, in the lead up to any daylight saving time change we always lie awake calculating the number of hours that we gain or lose in sleep and ultimately get very confused. Which one is it??? One of the daylight saving changes is a potential lifesaver – early risers will naturally wake a whole glorious hour later and shift workers get paid to work for an hour they didn’t actually work. But wait, it’s NOT that change! Clocks go BACKWARDS by one hour this Sunday morning. Read more here.
