In the UK, the clocks officially go back at 2:00 AM on the last Sunday of October. This year, that’s the 27th. At that precise moment, your phone will magically reset itself, and the world shifts from British Summer Time (BST) back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It’s like the universe saying, “Here, have an extra hour to stare at the ceiling or finally finish that book.”
Don’t panic if you’re still awake; it’s a gradual thing. Most smartphones, laptops, and smart speakers do the work for you. But your oven clock? That little microwave timer? They’ll be silently judging you until February if you don’t intervene.
