It'll be an extra hour in bed this weekend as daylight saving time comes to an end.
Scots will have to change their clocks on Sunday, and we'll begin to see lighter mornings and darker evenings.
We'll be moving back by one hour on Sunday, October 25 at 2am.
The clock reversal happens every year on the last Sunday of October, pushing the UK back into Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
What do you need to do?
Most devices such as phones, computers, laptops and televisions will change automatically, so no need to worry about those.
Analog clocks and clocks on applicants such as microwaves and ovens will have to be changed manually.
Why does this happen?
The change was introduced back in 1916 in an effort to save energy and help the war effort during the First World War.
The Summer Time Act 1916 advanced the clocks by one hour from May 21 until October 1.
When do they change again?
GMT ends in the spring when we go back to BST.
In 2021, GMT ends on Sunday, March 28 to mark the ‘official’ start of summer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
