From today evening, all of us will sleep one hour less! With the change of the hands of the clock exactly at midnight, at two in the morning on March 31, the clock will go forward a full 60 minutes, that is, from two to three.
Otherwise, this is also known as spring time since in electronic and digital devices, the change will be done automatically, while in analog devices it will be done manually. The first effect this change has on humans is more about teaching the body and brain to adapt to the new clock. There may also be a change in circadian rhythms (sleep-wake), which also causes problems with adapting to the new regime of sleeping one hour less.
Why does the clock change?
Changing the time is a "green solution" as the main advantage is saving energy. In total, during the summer months we save 210 hours of electricity by taking advantage of the Sun.
In the 70s, under the influence of the oil crisis, most European countries tried to use daylight in the best possible way. Since 1996, a single, pan-European regulation has come into force, whereby in the spring we turn our clocks forward one hour (to use an extra hour of daylight), while in the autumn we turn them back one hour. hours behind.
