IF you haven't heard - the clocks are changing this weekend.
In the UK, the clocks go forward one hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back one hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October.
In 2023, the clocks went forward on March 26.
The period when the clocks are one hour ahead is called British Summer Time (BST) - there’s more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings.
When the clocks go back, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

This autumn, the clocks will go back an hour on Sunday, October 29, 2023, at 2am.
And while some people will be thrilled with more sunlight in the morning - it's not welcomed by everyone.
In fact, news of the clocks changing is dreaded by many parents, as it means they're likely to be woken up an hour earlier by their child.
As a result, sleep specialist Eve, from Calm and Bright Sleep Support, has revealed her top tips for helping ensure you get a lie-in this weekend.
In a video on Instagram, Eve revealed there are basically two approaches to the situation.
One approach - which she's most likely to follow - is to "just go with the flow and put them to bed whenever".
However, the other is recommended if you are desperate for that lie-in, or if your child is one who is very dependent on a routine.
"If you like routine, put them to bed 15 minutes early, four nights before (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday)," she said.
Doing this should mean that if they usually wake up at 7am on Sunday morning, they should, theoretically, wake up at 8am.
"Either way, sleep will be back to normal within a few days," Eve promised.

Social media users were thankful for Eve's advice and were eager to share this in the comments.
"I love this! In the camp of 'don’t know what day it is' with you," one person wrote.
"I’m team Eve. I’d no idea it was next week!" another admitted.
One savvy parent claimed: "I might split the difference and do half hour early Saturday and Sunday."
However, someone else penned: "I'm really worried after a rocky time of sleep training it's all going to go pear shaped when the clocks go forward."
Whilst another admitted: "Mainly because my 11month old can already take some persuading to nap so trying to get her napping an hour earlier fills me with dread."
At the same time, someone else laughed: "Roll on next Sunday!!! We might see 6am."
