Is anyone else dreading the clocks going back?

It's finally here. Dark evenings, and within a week or two, dark mornings too. I'll be leaving for work and heading home in the dark. Thankfully my job has some big windows and I have access to outside space if needs be, but it'll still be a pretty miserable six months. I'm trying to get ahead of it by getting my supplements sorted out and bought, but even then I don't know how well it'll work. Just the worst time of year all around

I hate it. I don’t mind the slow creep of the daylight changing at all. But the sudden shift messes up something in my peripheral senses. I wish they’d just leave it alone.

I'm dreading it too

This.

My late Mum always said that when the clocks weren't changed in the 60s loads of kids got run over as it was dark until after 9 am in Scotland...

That's because they stuck with BST. I don't think they've ever experimented with sticking on GMT year round which is my preference.

Being light at 3am would be even more unnecessary. Light nights are good for womens' safety, too. It's not a guarantee of course.

If I had to choose one or the other I'd go for BST even though it's not the "right" time.

But I do think we need to go back for November-Feb, I just wish the clocks would go forward a bit earlier, maybe the second Sunday in March.

GMT all year round is better than what we have now, as winter would come more gradually.
