What does the Day Clock do? 

People living with memory problems can have trouble telling 
whether it is day or night, or morning or afternoon, or simply 
need reassurance about what day it is. 
 
These instructions tell you about how to use your Day Clock 
and how to look after it. 
 

The Day Clock will… 

automatically show Morning, 

Afternoon, Evening and Night for each day of the week, and will 
display the right information as soon as you plug it in. It will need 
adjusting in the Spring and Autumn when the clocks change. 
 

The Day Clock will not… 

display the exact time, or the date. 

The Day Clock has been carefully designed to help people 
with memory problems to make decisions about how to plan 
their day, so the different information is displayed as follows: 
 
Morning: 

7am 

to 12 noon 

 
Afternoon: 12 noon to 5pm 
 
Evening: 5pm to 10pm 
 
Night: 10pm to 

7am 

 

Think about where to position the Day Clock – perhaps try 
putting it in the living room, the kitchen or even the 
bedroom. Some people might benefit from placing the Day 
Clock next to a calendar or diary, to provide reassurance about 
missing appointments or planning activities.
