Daylight Saving Time was formally introduced in 1916 when Parliament passed the Summer Time Act, a result of campaigning by William Willett to maximize daylight hours.
The clocks will go back on Sunday 29th October 2023 at 2am, meaning we get an extra hour in bed but also shorter days and earlier darkness.
To help remember the clock changes, think of the seasons: clocks 'spring forward' in spring and 'fall back' in autumn.
Most digital devices with internet connections automatically update the time, but manual adjustment will be needed for traditional clocks.
