I used to think time change was a myth made up by clock manufacturers. But it’s real, and it happens tonight. So do yourself a favor: set an alarm on your phone (which updates itself) to remind you to change the old-school clocks. You’re welcome in advance.
And if you wake up tomorrow feeling like a zombie, just blame the government. It’s a tradition as old as turning back the clocks in autumn. Besides, blaming the government is way more fun than admitting you forgot to adjust your bedside clock.
The final word on the lost hour
So, to answer the burning question: what time does the clocks go forward tonight? At 1:00 AM, which becomes 2:00 AM, so basically, just before you’d normally fall into a deep sleep. Set your alarms, change your analog clocks, and maybe go to bed a little earlier.
Or don’t. Live dangerously. Show up to work an hour late and blame “the cosmic time warp.” I promise you, it’s a conversation starter—and a much better story than just admitting you forgot to check Google. Good luck, sleep warriors. You’re going to need it.
