We’ll sleep less hour this weekend, don’t forget about shifting shutters

The shift of the clock or the passage to the summer time has established itself in order to better use daylight and reduce energy consumption. People would burn less when it is bright outside, and with the adjustment of working hours, the consumption of electrical and heat would reduce.

We first introduced the summer time in Slovenia in 1983. Today it is used by most countries, but not fully coordinated. While some studies confirm The benefits of moving watches, such as better utilization of day and economic benefits, opponents point to negative health effects, sleep disorders and increased risk of accidents.

The transition to winter time happens to us last Sunday in October, when at 3:00 am we shift to 2:00, gaining an extra hour of sleep. Summer time begins this Sunday 30. March, when we move to 3:00 at 2:00 pm, which means we will sleep for one hour less.

The profession points out that the passage to summer time is the worst option for health. The extension of summer time to winter would be pushed into the darkness and the beginning of the work would be pushed into the darkness, with the sun in December only at 9.30. This has a bad effect on human health, warns the profession, much like light pollution that has spread across all borders in our country. The vast majority of 4.6 million Europeans spoke in last year’s public consultation of the European Commission to cease to change the watch, including 80 percent of Slovenes.
