Extra hour.

In spring the clocks go forwards and you lose an hour.
In autum they go back, and you gain an hour.

Spring forward, fall back

pain. You get pain. Instead of waning up at 6 you wake up at 5. You woke up with DS kicking you and steam rolling you in your new comfortable bed bc for months he’s been back in your bed as you’ve moved across the planet and his mattress won’t arrive for another 12 days. Which sucks because you stayed up late watching tv on your new sofa because you were lyao watching motherland.

Wait that’s me.

@nomadmummy up since 4am here 😩 this breaks so many UN conventions!

DuranNotSpandeau · 29/10/2023 05:47

😂

My peri-meno brain can't handle it. I know I'm going to have to get up and put the news on to find out what time it is because I'm lying here seeing 5.45 on my phone and thinking 'so is that old 5.45 and it's actually only 4 fucking 45 or is that new actual 5.45?'

6.45

ButtonSister · 29/10/2023 05:56

I think it's the new 5:55 now because that's the time stamp on your post
I always wonder the same thing

MonaDaVinci · 29/10/2023 05:59

I'm up. My 6am body clock wake up time is now 5am. Peri menopause, but I could happily nap at my work during the day 🤦‍♀️

Rosiiee · 29/10/2023 06:01

@NigelFaragesTinyConscience no it’s 5.45? Don’t phone times automatically change 😂 what year are we….

Setyoufree · 29/10/2023 06:01

I'm up because noone told my dog that I had a rare night out last night and that I've only had 3 hours sleep and it's not time to get up for the day if the number on the clock starts with a 5....

DuranNotSpandeau · 29/10/2023 06:08

Got it, thanks. DS isn't happy that he only just woke up, he's annoyed that he didn't wake up at his normal time (6am old time) as he could have had an extra hour's TV.😁

It's gonna be a looooooong day.

Smurfmurf · 29/10/2023 06:21

I’ve been awake since 04.50. It’s going to be a long day.

Similar here. I gave up trying to get back to sleep and have dragged a duvet to the sofa and am going to spend the next hour snuggling with coffee

This is my favourite time of the week. Everyone else is sleeping and the house is silent. Just an hour earlier today!

Burnoutwhat · 29/10/2023 06:30

I'm up 😫 thinking 6.30 isn't that bad but it's only really 5 30

Im poorly so tbh I will be able to nap later. Gonna get up and have coffee /cocodamol!

CharlotteSometimes1 · 29/10/2023 06:32

well I feel relief that my 5 am wake up is really 6am (we’ll it would have been yesterday) and that I haven’t really lost an hours sleep.

Teapleasebobb · 29/10/2023 06:42

Didn't even realise it was happening today. Thought I'd woken up a bit too early, I now realise why!
