Spring forward, fall back

You know, I really used to appreciate the extra hour in bed on the last Saturday of October as we switched from British Summer Time back to Grenwich Mean Time.

Now I have kids. Instead of gaining an extra hour in bed, the October clock change now means that I am woken an hour earlier in the morning than I would like to be. The clock read 5:07 when I was woken this morning...

Nowadays, I prefer the clock change in the Springtime - for a few days after that the kids sleep in in the morning, so it is then that I get the extra hour in bed.
