Twice a year we unnecessarily disrupt our biorhythms due to the time change.
The majority of Europeans support its abolition - and prefer summer time. Stiftung Warentest now shows that winter time is more in line with our internal clock.
Daylight saving time is not a natural event, but rather a decision that repeatedly throws our internal clock out of sync.
“At the end of October we will get the stolen hour back. We’ll get back to normal.”
says Till Roenneberg, professor at the Institute for Medical Psychology at the University of Munich. Winter, the natural time, is good for us. It corresponds to our biorhythm and influences our sleep, our heartbeat and our mood.

Nevertheless, summer time is popular. With its longer evenings it offers a strong psychological effect. 72 percent believe that daylight saving time does not affect them. Despite all perceived perceptions, many studies around the world have shown that summertime has unhealthy consequences - from metabolic diseases to psychological problems.
“The decision to change the clocks interferes with the biological time system. The majority start the day tired and live against their internal clock. “
said Professor Roenneberg.
Many people are fed up with the time change. The end could come soon - according to the wishes of the EU Parliament, the clock should be turned for the last time in March 2021.
