Yep, it's that time of year again where your sleeping patterns get messed up.

Those lighter evenings though. :datass:

I can't wait! It's so nice to have light evenings, plus it feels like the start of summer.

I used to hate the summertime because I prefer darker nights - but now it gives me an extra hour with my partner in the evenings before he goes to work in the morning (time difference goes from 9 hours to 8).

The one thing I hate is the lighter mornings.

I just hate light

strawberry float summer
strawberry float the heat
strawberry float the light nights
but most of all, strawberry float the pointless clock changes every year

Lighter evenings make it harder to put the kids to bed early so this a massive inconvenience for me

Lighter evenings will be nice

plus it feels like the start of summer.

Though I suppose there are downsides to everything :dread:

British Summer Time all year round please. :toot:

You are!

Lighter evenings are indefinitely better. You can enjoy the evening more. Just provides more options.

Can you not go out when it's dark? What's wrong with enjoying the night? :capnscotty:

it gets colder when it gets dark, have to plan around that and its just not as nice as when the sun is out :datass:

I'm confused by this thread, this country is so miserable and dark for 7 months, cold, wet, and you guys are complaining? It baffles me! Warmer weather and a nicer climate is simply devine. Although...I think the only valid excuse being hay-feaver/alergies.

To be fair, Qikz does quite famously suffer from terminal hayfever.

Also in terms of the lighter mornings/evenings and going to sleep. I trust you all have purchased blackout curtains and an eye mask?

I have to sleep during the day due to my shift work, it's the only way. I'm also a very light sleeper. I actually quite like them Manta masks.

Lighter evenings makes the commute home a lot more tolerable on the days I have to do it, as people seem incapable of driving when it's dark around here for some reason.

Biggest thing I love is the lighter mornings. It's truly depressing getting out at 6am to walk the dog/exercise and having to wear a body torch, spent the whole time in the dark and it's still dark when I'm getting ready for work.
