It is almost time for daylight saving to come to an end, which means you could be getting an extra hour’s sleep tomorrow morning.
This year, daylight saving will end at 2am on Sunday, 2 April.
Each year, daylight saving time ends at 2am on the first Sunday of April.
Clocks will be moved back by a hour – which means an extra hour’s sleep-in for your Sunday!
The purpose of daylight saving is to make the most of the hours of daylight we are given by the changing seasons.
The tilt that the Earth sits on gives us our four seasons but it also means that we are exposed to more sun during the summer and less during winter.
About 70 countries around the world are on board the daylight saving train including Australia, the UK, Switzerland, Lebanon, Egypt and almost all the United States.
For those wanting to get a head start on planning summer picnics, daylight saving will begin again on the first Sunday in October.
