What time is it now ?
And the clocks have gone forward - from Greenwich Mean Time to British Summer Time.
This means that spring and summer are truly on their way.
As the clocks have gone forward by an hour, there was one LESS hour in bed for everyone on Saturday night.
The change took place at 1am on Sunday morning, when most people were tucked up asleep in bed.
The hands of time moved forward an hour to 2am at that point.
If you woke up confused by what the time is, you can check it by clicking HERE or looking at the clock below.

Why do the clocks change?
Benjamin Franklin first had the idea to change the clocks in autumn back in 1784.
He argued that people would benefit from extra daylight if they got out of bed an hour earlier.
But the idea wasn't introduced to the UK until 1916, when the first Daylight Saving Bill was brought in.
When do the clocks go back again?
It's not for a while - autumn, in fact, before the clocks change back an hour to Greenwich Mean Time.
The actual date is Hallowe'en - Sunday October 31 - at 2am, the clocks will go back an hour to 1am.
So an extra hour in bed for everyone.
