Se schimbă ora. Tot ce trebuie să ştii despre ora de iarnă şi ce se întâmplă în câteva zile - Economica.net

The transition to winter time in Romania occurs on the last weekend of October, providing an extra hour of sleep but raising health and economic concerns. The change, which involves setting clocks back one hour, has historical roots dating back to 1916 in Germany. While many European citizens support abolishing the time change, a consensus among member states remains elusive. The impact of this shift affects transportation schedules and can disrupt circadian rhythms, particularly for vulnerable populations. Despite initial energy-saving intentions, recent studies indicate minimal benefits, with increased heating and cooling needs offsetting any gains. The next time change will occur in spring when clocks move forward for daylight saving time.
