Spring Forward to Save Energy: The Clock Change You Need to Know for 2023!

 

In 2023, people in the UK will have to move their clocks forward by one hour in March, as British Summer Time (BST) will begin.

This means that the sun will rise and set later in the day, with the longest day of the year occurring in June. The reason for this change is to take advantage of the longer daylight hours in the summer months and to save energy.

However, some people argue that changing the clocks twice a year can disrupt sleep patterns and cause other health problems.

In fact, some countries have already abandoned the practice of daylight saving time, while others are considering doing so. There is also debate over whether the UK should adopt permanent British Summer Time or permanent Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Advocates of permanent BST argue that it would provide more daylight in the evening and boost tourism, while advocates of permanent GMT argue that it would improve public health and safety.

Ultimately, the decision on whether to adopt permanent BST or GMT is likely to depend on a range of factors, including energy consumption, public opinion, and economic considerations.
