I have a radio-controlled clock up in my room, so there was no confusion - I woke up at my usual time.
It's a bit annoying that it gets dark earlier!

Maybe they assumed everyone is tucked away in theri beds and won't notice!

Imagin changing it during the day?
In the Autumn you'd be expected to work an hour longer, and in the Spring an hour less.
I wonder how it affects those who do night shifts.
