From this Sunday we will sleep an hour more, we are switching to winter time

Winter time in most of Europe begins on the night between Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26, 2025.

The exact time when the clocks move back one hour is 03:00 AM.

So, we have an "extra" hour to sleep.

With the return to winter time, the sun will rise and set earlier.

Also, the days will have less light in the afternoon hours.

In fact, winter time refers to the standard time used during most of the year.

On the other hand, daylight saving time was introduced to make better use of daylight, especially in the evening hours, by moving the clocks forward one hour at the end of March.

The idea of ​​setting clocks back dates back to the 18th century, when it was proposed by Benjamin Franklin, but it was only in the 20th century that it was widely used, especially during the world wars and the energy crisis of the 1970s.

The main goal was to save energy, but with the development of technology and changes in lifestyle, the benefits became a matter of debate.

Although the time change may seem like a small change, many experts warn that it can affect a person's internal biological clock.

In the days following the time change, some people may experience fatigue, decreased concentration, and sleep disturbances.

The European Union has been discussing abolishing seasonal clock changes for years.

In 2019, the European Parliament voted for a proposal to abolish the mandatory clock change, but the decision has not yet entered into force because member states have not reached a consensus on whether to remain permanently on summer or winter time.
