Daylight saving time is approaching
Daylight saving time is about to begin. On the morning of March 31, the hands of the clock will move forward one hour, from 02.00 to 03.00. This means that he will sleep an hour less that night. This time change is carried out throughout the European Union to adapt the working day to the hours of sunlight.
More daylight hours from April
From Tuesday, April 2, the first working day after the Easter holidays, mornings will be later in the day and daylight hours will be gained in the afternoon. This adaptation of the timetable aims to make the most of the hours of sunshine during the day.
Summer hours will be extended until the end of October
This year, daylight savings time will be extended until the last weekend in October. At this point, the clocks will have to be set back one hour again to accommodate the winter time. This means that the clocks will change from 03.00 to 02.00 in the morning.
Debate about the time change
For some time, there have been discussions about the possibility of eliminating the time change and keeping the same schedule throughout the year. Although a final decision has not yet been taken, 64% of Europeans are in favor of keeping daylight saving time all year round. This decision is pending to be resolved by the competent authorities.
Recommendations for the time change
The time change can affect sleep patterns and cause tiredness and sleepiness in some people. For this reason, it is recommended not to take long naps and not to eat too much the night before the time change. It is important to gradually adapt to the new schedule to avoid possible disruptions.
