Here in Morocco we're on the same time zone as the UK which is handy! But the clocks haven't gone back here. It's now 1hr ahead.

Apparently they've adopted DST throughout the year here. But go back to GMT for Ramadan.

Brit sleep experts say it's time to kill daylight saving

It turns out morning light beats evening rays for health benefits

Wonder what it would take for it to just remain the way it is now.

DST will get scrapped, the EU was ready to do it but got distracted with Brexit and Covid, now the US is ready to do it, they just need to get aligned and do it. Probably distracted with Ukraine now, and then it'll be Taiwan after that, so who knows when they'll get round to it, but the intent is there. Assuming the UK chooses to align with US and EU, because it'd be crazy not to.

Don't get me wrong, I hate gardening, I only get so much time to do my elderly parents garden as they aren't close.

Just to make feek really happy I saw something earlier about a suggestion we should move to GMT+1 for winter, and GMT+2 for summer.

The one wish I have is for people to stop messing with it! I don’t care if we have GMT, BST or pacific time. Just stop messing with it!

Its actually from the British sleep society as it says. Permanent GMT is best but I already knew that :cry:
