What are twisting the clocks?

"Twisting the clocks" is when people change time so it doesn’t go straight forward anymore.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy train set. Usually, the train goes from one end of the track to the other in a nice, smooth line, that's like time going on normally. But if someone twists the track, the train has to turn and loop around before continuing, that’s like time getting twisted too.

When we say "twisting the clocks", it means changing how time moves so people can experience different times in different places. For example, if you live in a place where it's morning, but your friend lives somewhere else and it’s already evening, that’s like part of the clock track has been twisted!

It’s kind of like having two train tracks: one for you and one for your friend. They both run on the same big map, but they don’t always match up because the clocks have been twisted to make time fit better in different places.

Sometimes this helps people sleep more or work better, it's just a fun way to play with time!
