At 2am overnight, clocks will go back by one hour to 1am, although most smartphones, tablets and computers will update automatically.The time change will mean darker evenings and road users have been advised to take extra care as the nights close in.
The practice of switching the clocks was first introduced in World War I to save energy by prolonging evening daylight in summer. Dr Curtis argues that standard time, the time zone we're going into after this weekend is the best time to stay in for our body clocks. "It's morning light, not evening light that's really important to allows us to ensure that our body clock is really appropriately timed and synergised with our external environment."
"So we can have that between 8:30 and 16:30 or we can have that between 09:30 and 17:30. If we stay on daylight savings time, come December we're going to have a situation where sunrise won't happen until 09:30 in the morning. Ok, we do get that extra hour from 4:30 to 5:30 but in reality, most people are up and about by 7 or 8 o'clock, so we need to have that brightness then.
This lode of shit rte1news
This is a nightmare just leave the clocks alone
Now is the winter of our discontent.
So much positivity on here ? . I'm so happy, hail bouncing off the windows, my bed is bliss, surrounded by people I love, its technically only 11.39 and I have an extra hour in bed in the morning. What the hell is wrong with you people. Oh and everton are playing tomorrow. 💙💙💙
Are you sure RTÉ, you wouldn’t be known to tell the truth
I no 😇😇😇
'If I could turn back time' 'If I could find a way'
Wish they would leave the clocks alone its hard enough during this pandemic without bn plunged in to Darkness. Mental health will suffer more as a result.
I really hope they stop this carry on from next year. And let UK & NI do their own thing too. We can still be friends with them & work with them even if they are 1 hour seperated from us.
Wow. RTÉ telling the truth?
Why do we continue with this nonsense?
Whoppee.
I wish they would stop doing this. I would prefer longer evenings. Hard with small kids, who don't read the clock.
Another bank holiday, like all the others of 2020. all in this together, but so so far away and isolated from each other. Clocks going back , people going back. Is anything going foreward.
Pity gov did not allow us to change this yr. Do we really mind if Northern Ireland's on a different time? If they mind they could change to our time.
Oh my god. Did just take a Biden vox pop and a slur against Trump (unnecessarily) and abstract it into telling us it is winter. Look up operation dark winter. FakeNewsMedia Who is actually funding rte because it's clearly not the people.
Can of piss
You know what, we're not all farmers and we have street lights now. It's time to end this nonsense.
Another thing to look forward to 👍
who fukkin needs an extra hour of 2020, I ask you!
Load of shoemakers

No benefit to those households where there's kids getting up at 6am in the morning as a result!!! 😴😴😴😢😤🥺🤫
Turning the clocks back to a time of tyranny with the help of PravdaRTE and the Irish state.
