What changes with the switch to daylight saving time?
The time change has some immediate effects:
an extra hour of light in the evening
one hour less sleep on the night of the change
possible slight fatigue in the first few days
reduction of energy consumption thanks to less use of artificial lighting
Many people experience minor discomforts in the days that follow, but usually the body quickly adapts to the new rhythm.
Why Daylight Saving Time Exists
The goal of daylight saving time is to make better use of natural light , reducing energy consumption and optimizing operating hours during the brightest months of the year.
The debate on its abolition has been addressed several times at European level, but for now the system remains in force.
