On Sunday, we turn the clocks back one hour and switch from summer to winter time. This will make the mornings brighter. The time change takes place at night from Saturday to Sunday. Then we switch the clocks from 3.00:2.00 to XNUMX:XNUMX. But of course nothing will happen if we do it after waking up. However, in most devices that we have, this change will happen automatically.
What if you are working at night when our clocks are reset? The link to the article on this topic can be found below.
Shouldn't we stop turning the clock back?
Many people wonder how long we will maintain winter and summer time. There is now a discussion in the EU whether countries should stop changing their clocks. The matter is still under consideration by the Council of the European Union, as has been the case for some time.
“Norway will wait for the EU decision before we decide whether to stop setting the clock. Due to business interests, it would probably be beneficial to have the same solution as our closest neighbours, says the business minister.

Currently, whether we like it or not, or we don't care, we have to reset our clocks twice a year.
Why are we changing clocks?
The historical reason for introducing daylight saving time was to save energy. Some countries introduced daylight saving time during World War I to conserve coal for wartime use. George Hudson is said to have been the first to propose daylight saving time. He was a scientist and wanted more sun in the evening to collect insects.
Do we run the risk of all countries in Europe having a different time if the summer time directive is repealed?
Many countries in the EU/EEA use the Central European Time zone. The proposal foresees that each Member State must choose whether to continue winter time as normal time or to choose summer time as the new normal time. However, this entails the risk of increasing time differences in the EU.
What are our neighboring countries doing?
Sweden, Finland and Denmark have daylight saving time today. Russia and Iceland no.
