NO!! I LOVE when the clocks go back, hate it when they go forward though - I get almost like jet lag

KeepYourCup · 26/10/2019 00:17

I can't wait. I love this time of year when night time actually feels like night time.

Bofster37 · 26/10/2019 00:24

An extra hour in bed?? Why would we be dreading it?!

user764329056 · 26/10/2019 00:39

Dreading it as it’ll be dark so early in the afternoon

No.
I love an extra hour's sleep.
It's one of the best night's of the year.

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2019 01:07

Hate it!

DramaAlpaca · 26/10/2019 01:09

I love the extra hour of sleep, but hate it getting dark so early afterwards.

AlexaAmbidextra · 26/10/2019 01:10

I used to hate it when it fell on my night duty. It turned a twelve hour night into thirteen hours. It seemed endless.

If the clocks didn't go back, given as it's only just light at about 7.45am now, it'd only get light at 8.45am by the time we get into deep winter.

Yes!! Children will be awake at 4 15 not 5.15!

RolytheRhino · 26/10/2019 05:53

Yes. I feel like my one year old will fail to appreciate that the clocks have gone back and her 5.40 a.m. wake-up will just become a 4.40 a.m. wake-up. Sad

Celebelly · 26/10/2019 06:27

Yes I posted this in the baby sleep section for reason Grin

Yes but I’m planning on keeping DD extra late and hopefully she’ll adjust her sleep.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 26/10/2019 08:01

I like it because it's lighter in the mornings again for a little while.

greypetex · 26/10/2019 08:48

When my kids were young I just changed to clock at lunchtime. It never made any difference.

MrsJBaptiste · 26/10/2019 10:24

This time change is just awful when you have small kids BUT... when they're older and nobody cares what time they get up, you'll appreciate this time of year!

Thismummyruns · 26/10/2019 19:31

DREADING being up at 5am tomorrow Confused

Bofster37 · 26/10/2019 19:53

But you won’t be?

joffreyscoffees · 26/10/2019 20:03

Well DD was up at 4.30 this morning, so I can't wait for 3.30 tomorrow Sad I've tried to keep her up later tonight and managed an extra 45 minutes so I hope that's done something to help.

Otherwise, I'd be loving the extra hour.

Celebelly · 26/10/2019 20:08

Yes, pre-baby it was great! An extra hour in bed. Post-baby, eh not so much! Pretty sure she won't have got the extra hour in bed memo. Hopefully her body clock shifts to new routine sooner rather than later

I love the extra hour sleep because I don’t have young kids

bobstersmum · 26/10/2019 20:19

I've just been reading an article that said we wont be altering the clocks after next year, not sure how true that is!

gingeristhenewblack43 · 26/10/2019 20:57

I'm almost 8 years into my sentence of having an early riser. Hurrah for being woken at 4.30 tomorrow instead of 5.30 🎉

I think Brexit will prevent it!
