Ireland moves to Irish Standard Time tonight, as clocks jump forward by one hour at 1:00am, moving to 2:00am. It means one less hour of sleep, but brighter evenings from tomorrow onwards.

The change marks the end of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the start of Irish Standard Time (IST), which runs until late October.

It is worth setting your clocks before you go to bed tonight, though most smartphones and digital devices will update automatically. Manual clocks around the house, such as in the car, kitchen, or on the wall, will need to be adjusted by hand. And yes, that includes the VCR.

The change can affect sleep patterns for a few days, particularly for young children and those with early morning routines, so it is worth planning ahead if you have an early start tomorrow.
