When daylight saving time is set in 2024: where to turn the hands

On the night of March 31, the clocks will be reset to daylight saving time. The main reason for this is to make efficient use of daylight hours and reduce energy consumption.

The Verkhovna Rada has repeatedly tried to cancel the change of clocks, but this issue remains uncertain. Read about the peculiarities of daylight saving time in the OBOZ.UA article.

When to switch to daylight saving time

Daylight saving time is set annually on the last Sunday of March at 3 am.

The clocks on smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other gadgets switch to daylight saving time automatically, as manufacturers set the synchronization by default. When the device is connected to the network, it synchronizes with the time servers on its own. Only ordinary watches, alarm clocks, and mechanical devices will have to be set manually.

The nuances of the conversion

There is a theory that such time jumps have a negative impact on the body. In particular, biorhythms disruptions can lead to poor health and reduced performance, headaches, and exacerbation of chronic diseases.
