Fall back to a previous time (by one hour)

This coming Sunday, 29th of October 2023, Daylight Savings/British Summer Time ends

Extra hour in bed

At 2:00am this coming Sunday morning the time will instantaneously “fall back” to 1:00am, giving us all an extra hour in bed.

As discussed in a previous article, your smart devices will adjust themselves and be correct when you wake up. Your TV, microwave and car clocks will be accurate again after six months in temporal exile. The mornings will be lighter, at least for four to five weeks. The evenings will now be dark until well into next year.

Effectively on Sunday morning you are being given the twin gifts of time and sleep.

Good idea or not?

In the wider view, a debate has been raging for over a century as to whether our society needs to change our clocks at all. The analogy being that we are cutting six inches from the top of a blanket and sewing it to the bottom in an attempt to convince ourselves we have more blanket.

The change to our circadian rhythm is also argued to be linked with multiple health issues. Not to mention the confusion surrounding appointments booked in advance.

Us? Well at least our immediate future holds a cozy extra hour under a warm duvet this coming Sunday morning.

Like anything else we can’t control, we’ll leave the Daylight Savings issue to be solved by the great and the good.

Timeshare help

What Timeshare Advice Center can help you take back control of is your holiday choices.

If you are fed up with paying ever increasing maintenance fees, whether you holiday or not. If you feel you were mis-sold. If you believe your contract may be illegal, like the vast majority of European timeshare contracts written in the last quarter of a century, then get in touch.

We will either help, advise, or make sure you know your genuine options so that you can protect yourselves from dangerous, cold-calling fraudsters.
