Time change to wintertime: Check the time on this device - you can even save money with it

The time change can become a cost issue for some households.

Munich - The time change is a nuisance for many people.

It is unpopular because it can mess up the biorhythm for several days.

There was a seemingly clever thought behind turning the clock.

The time change was intended to reduce energy consumption.

In this way you could make good use of the daylight at any time of the year so that we all turn on the light less.

It is one thing that the time change causes health problems and in reality energy consumption has not been reduced.

But it is also unpleasant that, of

all

things,

time can result in unexpected

That is why it is sometimes not enough just to set the clocks to the correct time.

For the time being, there is not much left of the end of the clock change that the EU had tackled.

In 2021, the European states cannot agree on a common approach.

There are proponents of permanent summer time, permanent winter time and also the time change in its current form.
