A calmer week of bedtimesA calmer week after the change

At 2am on Sunday the clocks go back an hour.At 2am on Sunday the clocks went back an hour. For adults, a lie-in. For anyone under 11, quite possibly breakfast at 5.45am. Here’s a gentle way through it, if you’d like one:

  1. Fri 23 OctBedtime about 30 minutes later than usual.
  2. Sat 24 OctAbout 45 minutes later.
  3. Sun 25 OctYour usual time, on the new clock.
  4. Every nightThe same wind-down, just moved. The lamp goes down 30 minutes before, whatever the clock says.

If an early start arrives anyway

Curtains shut, voices low, “it’s still night-time” said once, kindly, and a basket by the bed with two books and nothing with batteries.

And if none of that suits your weekend, the usual routine at the usual time is a perfectly good plan. Everyone settles into the new clock at their own pace, grown-ups included.
