Why do the clocks go back at 2am?

Do we gain an hour in October?

An easy way to remember which way the clocks change is to think of the seasons: in spring the clocks 'spring forward', while in autumn they 'fall back'. When do the clocks go back in 2023? In autumn 2023 the clocks will go back on 29 October at 2am.

Do we lose an hour of sleep on daylight Savings?

Although we gain an extra hour of daylight, we also lose an hour of sleep if we are not prepared. Moving our clocks can disrupt our sleep patterns. In general, "losing" an hour in the Spring is more difficult to adjust to than "gaining" an hour in the Autumn when we move the clocks back one hour.
