For 2026, in the UK and Europe, the clocks go forward on Sunday, 30 March. In the US and Canada, it already happened on 9 March. Mark it on your calendar, set a reminder, or just rely on your phone to betray you with a sudden “Your alarm will now ring at 6 AM instead of 7” notification. Either way, you’ll survive.
And if you’re feeling grumpy about it, remember this: you’re not alone. Every single person you meet that Monday will be a little tired, a little confused, and slightly more likely to spill their coffee. That shared experience—that collective yawn—is oddly comforting. We’re all in this groggy boat together, sailing toward brighter days.
So, set your clocks forward, forgive your microwave, and give your cat an extra treat. The sun is coming, my friend. And it’s going to be glorious.
