Time change research: Should summer time rather start in April?

At least twice a year, the discussion about the time change is busy for many people. Two Spanish researchers have now presented their own proposal: Do not abolish it, but postpone it.

The time has come again. On 30 March, the clock will be presented again for an hour. Seven years ago, the clock was voted for the abolition of the time change. Spanish scientists bring new proposals. A solution is not in sight.

The first crocuses sprout, in the supermarket there are Easter eggs: Inconceivable signs that summer time is coming and we have to change the clock. But in which direction does the pointer have to hike again? And why do we have this half-yearly disruption of the bio budget? The article Who turned the clock? Nine facts about the time change first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.

There are also experts who disagree. Let it all go, now two Spanish researchers think with a view to history and study situation. Only a small shift makes senseIs it really time to turn on the clock? Two Spanish researchers say that the half-yearly time change has been intense for years. Now there is a new idea: to postpone the time change itself. The first April weekend is better suited for the changeover in spring than the last Sunday in March…

Saturday, April 5, begins the winter time that will govern until September, which could generate some effects related to the exposure of light. To better manage this situation, Dr. Paulina Chávez, neurologist of the Achs Health Worker Hospital, delivers some recommendations.

A world study in which Darío Acuña, professor emeritus of the Department of Physiology of the UGR, participates, warns of the negative biological impact that the time change has on people. In turn, this scientific consensus is committed to maintaining the winter time, being more balanced. The work argues that the variations of light along the seasons are soft to allow human adaptation, softness that the change to the summer time breaks.
