“Spring forward, fall back” goes the saying; that’s right - today, Sunday the 25th of October 2026, saw the clocks go back an hour, meaning it gets dark earlier all of a sudden and winter is on its way! If there’s one day, or rather two days, of the year where you don’t want to schedule any important appointments, it’s on a day when the clock changes. Forgetting the time change is something that’s happened to all of us at least once in our lifetimes. Changing our clocks is so ingrained into our culture that we never really call it into question. But it has actually become a subject of debate in recent years, with some people even saying we should do away with the whole idea. Who first came up with the idea then? What’s the point of it all? Why is it a subject of debate then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
