Clocks Go Back in Somerset: Time to Snuggle Up!

It's that time of year again folks, when we gain an hour of sleep (and lose an hour of daylight). Clocks go back in Somerset on Sunday, October 29th, 2023 at 2:00 AM. This means that at 2:00 AM, you'll actually turn your clocks back to 1:00 AM.

Yep, it's confusing, I know. It's like a time-traveling game that we play every year! But don't worry, it's not as complicated as it seems. Just think of it this way: you get to enjoy an extra hour in bed – yay!

Why do we do this whole clock changing thing anyway?

Well, it all goes back to daylight saving time (DST). It was first implemented in the US during World War I to save energy by taking advantage of the longer daylight hours. The idea was to use less artificial light and save money.

While the energy savings are debatable, the tradition of changing clocks continues. Many European countries, including the UK, still observe DST. So, while we might groan about the extra hour of sleep, it's a reminder that we're all in this together!

What about the impact on Somerset?

Well, for us Somerset folks, it means darker mornings, but hey, who doesn't love a good excuse to snuggle up with a cup of tea and a good book? It's also a great time to start thinking about cozy autumn nights and the holidays coming up!

What to do with that extra hour?

So, now that you've got your extra hour, what are you going to do with it? Maybe you'll finally catch up on your sleep, or maybe you'll use it to bake a pumpkin pie. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy that extra hour of time!

Just remember to set your clocks back on Sunday, October 29th at 2:00 AM. And hey, if you're still confused, just ask! We're all in this together, and there's no shame in asking for help!
