How to naturally combat the stress caused by the transition from summer time to solar time

Time solar, hands back one hour. A solution first introduced over 100 years ago in the UK when the British Summer Time. In that case, with the approach of summer and the increase in daylight hours, it was decided to move the hands of the clock forward by one hour. Custom also followed by other European countries.

L'daylight savings time clearly it does not "increase" the light but makes it possible to make more use of the hours of light. In this way, less electricity is consumed, making better use of the one offered free of charge by the sun.

At least as long as you can. In fact, in October, the recovered hour of sunshine is taken away from us by Nature, as the hours of darkness increase. And this is how solar time is restored at the very end of October.

On the night of October 30 at 3 we have to turn the hands of our watches back until 2. Many digital devices will do this automatically. A little change which will still make itself felt, a bit like it happens with jet was. Not for everyone actually. There are those who will not feel anything but on the other hand they could experience a series of discomfort related to the alteration of the natural sleep-wake cycle.
