Daylight Saving

Could someone please explain to my children the concept of daylight saving? The clocks went back at 2am this morning, so even though they woke up at their normal time of 6am, its actually 5am by the sun.

So here I am, Sunday morning at nearly 5.30am, watching Heffalump's Halloween Movie for the umpteenth time because its too early for any of the children's channels to be on air yet. I was smart enough to anticipate this and go to bed early last night, but its still far too early for anyone to be up.

One consolation is that by the time they go to bed tonight they'll have been up for an hour longer than normal and will be so tired that they sleep straight through till 7am tomorrow morning. At least, that's the theory....
