For the next week, your body will act like it’s been jet-lagged without leaving the country. You’ll yawn at 3 PM like a bear in January. Your kids—if you have them—will suddenly wake up at 5 AM because “the sun is up!” You’ll mutter things like “daylight saving is a scam” while fumbling for another biscuit. It’s a tiny madness we all share, like a secret handshake of exhaustion.
But here’s the silver lining: by May, you’ll love it. You’ll be sipping a pint in the pub garden at 8 PM, the sun still golden, and you’ll think, “Okay, that hour of lost sleep was worth it.” Almost worth it. Your circadian rhythm will disagree, but your evening plans will thank you.

The joke is on us (but we laugh anyway)
You know what’s funny? We do this twice a year, and we still forget which way the clocks go. “Spring forward, fall back”—it’s a cute rhyme, but your brain will still short-circuit at 1:59 AM. You’ll change your bedside clock, hear a loud click, and suddenly it’s 3 AM. You’ll text a friend: “Is it 2 or 3?” They’ll reply: “Yes.” That’s the shared absurdity of it all.
So, next time you’re cursing the lost hour, remember: you’re part of a massive, bleary-eyed British tradition. We’re all stumbling through March together, holding our phones like torches in the dark, trying to figure out if it’s time for bed or time for tea. And honestly, it’s usually time for tea. Always time for tea.
Just set your alarm. And maybe buy a spare pot of coffee. You’ll need it.
