It’s best you get to bed early, because at 2am on Sunday, October 1, clocks will skip forward and an hour of sleep will disappear as daylight saving time kicks off for 2017.
Most mobile phones will update their times automatically, however it’s always worth checking your settings to be sure.
Hotly billed as the start of the summer season, daylight saving begins annually on the first Sunday in October and is designed to make better use of daylight during the warmer months in Australia's southern states.
Daylight saving time is observed in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, as well as the ACT and will end on April 1, 2018.
