Daylight Saving Time Adjustment - Shift to Daylight Saving Time - Details and Dates Provided
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a seasonal practice where clocks are set forward one hour during the night, resulting in longer evenings and shorter mornings. In the United Kingdom, DST is a common practice that occurs every last Sunday in March.
The tradition of DST has a long history, with Benjamin Franklin proposing the idea in 1784 as a means to conserve energy. The first implementation of DST was in Germany in 1916, during the then German Reich, and it was later standardized across the European Union in 1977.
In the UK, the clocks are moved forward one hour during the time change to DST, which is at 2:00 AM on Sunday morning. This year, the change will take place on March 27, 2022.
While DST is intended to provide energy savings, the intended benefits have never been proven. However, it does result in it getting dark later in the evening. It's important to note that more accidents may occur during the switch to DST due to people sleeping an hour less.
Between 30 and 60 percent of people may experience adjustment problems and feel disrupted during the time change. It's recommended to prepare for the change by going to bed a little earlier the night before and trying to maintain a regular sleep schedule.
Here are the DST dates for the coming years:
- 2023: March 26, 2023
- 2024: March 31, 2024
- 2025: March 30, 2025
- 2026: March 29, 2026
- 2027: March 28, 2027
- 2028: March 26, 2028
- 2029: March 25, 2029
Remember, the clocks go forward one hour during the time change to DST. Be sure to adjust your clocks on the specified dates to ensure a smooth transition.
