Such a palaver changing it in my car that I leave it on UTC all the year round.

As a worldwide communicator, I'm used to using UTC anyway. The hour change thought up by William Willett from Chiselhurst works moderately well and is not quite ready to be dropped.

But it's still an extra hour as it's went forward if it went back you'd get up an hour less but gain in the evening rather than going to sleep at the usual time in theory it's 8 but it's 9

I went to bed on Friday night at 11 and got up at 7. 8 hours sleep after a 16 hour day

Last night I went to bed at 11 and got up at 7. Because the clocks had gone forward at around 2am to 3am I lost an hour's sleep in the night, 7 hours sleep.

Nobody has lost anything really since we're all going to be alive for the same number of hours regardless of what the clock, candle or sundial says.
