Oh, totally. Your brain’s internal clock—your circadian rhythm—is like a grumpy cat. It doesn’t like being poked. When you lose that hour, you might feel a bit foggy, like your head is wrapped in cotton candy. Studies even show a spike in traffic accidents and heart attacks the day after springing forward. Yikes. So, be kind to yourself this weekend: go to bed a little earlier, skip the extra espresso, and let your body adjust slowly.
But here’s the trade-off: that same foggy Monday means you get to reclaim your evenings. No more eating dinner in the dark like a cave dweller. You can take a walk, sit on a porch, or just stare at the sky and feel like you’ve stolen time from the universe. Isn’t that worth a grumpy Monday morning?
A fun comparison to keep you hooked
Think of spring forward like that friend who shows up an hour late to a party. Annoying at first, but once they arrive, oh, the party gets so much better. The sun is the late friend, and the party is your post-work life. You might grumble when you hit snooze on Sunday—but by Tuesday evening, you’ll be basking in that golden hour glow, wondering why you ever resisted.

And if you live somewhere that doesn’t observe DST—like Arizona or Hawaii—you’re basically living in a time-free zone. No confusion, no lost sleep. That’s cool too, but you’re missing out on the collective global weirdness. You’re the calm friend at the chaotic party.
So, to answer the big question: Yes, clocks go forward this Sunday (in many places). Update your smart devices manually if they’re glitchy. Set an alarm for Saturday night so you don’t miss brunch. And remember: this is a tiny, silly ritual that connects millions of people to the weird, wonderful act of pretending time is something we can control.
Now go ahead, spring forward. Your evenings are waiting.
