Time Travel

A very strange thing has just happened.
What I am about to tell you is absolutely true and I'd rather like to you to explain it for me.
When I woke up this morning and put on my watch, the time was exactly one hour in advance of the actual time.
Exactly one hour.

There was nobody else in the house.
There was no sign of a break-in.
Nothing else had been moved.
Every other timepiece in the house said 9 o'clock.

But my watch said 10 o'clock.

It is a Wednesday so there have been no clock changes.
No hour forward, no falling back.
And yet my watch was wrong.
Perhaps you thought as I did that my watch may have stopped and restarted with a failing battery.
But the date is correct and I went to bed at about midnight, so it never passed a 10 o'clock.

You're not going to argue it could start going backwards? I don't think that is plausible.
Because the watch is working perfectly.
It's just one hour ahead of where it should be.

It hasn't been on the blink. Recently, the most I've done is had a pin remade to reattach the strap. Nothing to do with the mechanism.

And yet I woke up this morning and my watch was one hour ahead.

I swear to you this is absolutely true.
Explain that if you can.

I have had a think about it for 10 minutes and I've come to only one possible conclusion of how this could have happened. And I don't like it.

Last night I went out I had 3 and a 1/2 pints of a 4% pale ale (it wasn't that pale) called Anglers Reward from the Wold Top Yorkshire brewery.
It was a highly flavoursome beast.
I believe this to be relevant.

And... I swear to you, this is true, although I understand your scepticism... before going to bed last night I watched a repeat of a Derren Brown - Trick of the Mind programme where he does a trick with a watch predicting a time randomly chosen. The chosen time is also indicated by the exact place where he stops on a Ferris wheel during the routine. It's a highly visual, very effective stunt, and having an interest in this sort of thing, I think I know how he achieved at least part of this effect, and I could speculate about the rest.
I believe this to be relevant too.

The next effect in the programme claimed to be a subliminal experiment in which fast frames with subliminal messages were hidden in the short cinema film in order to make viewers forget the main feature that they were about to watch (which was Ocean's 12). I didn't really bother watching this I had seen it before, but I knew the idea.

In what is the now last half an hour, I've come to only one conclusion of how my watch this morning was one hour in advance.

And it pains me to say it.

It's pretty clear to me that in the night I woke, some beery chemicals in my head, I must've turned on the bedside light and then I advanced my watch exactly one hour forward, turned off the light and went back
to sleep.
I have absolutely no memory of this and I rather wish it wasn't so.

Nevertheless it is a conclusion I've been forced into.
There might be something in this suggestion thing after all.
I'd give it some thought... but I'm either late for a meeting... or early.... I just can't decide watch.
