Ukraine will switch to winter time on October 26: how to adapt to the changes.
Transition to winter time in Ukraine
According to inkorr.com: In October, Ukrainians will adjust their clocks to winter time, turning them back one hour from the 25th to the 26th. This will allow for longer sleep.
Ukrainians were informed about when they will gain an extra hour of sleep at night.
Modern devices, such as phones and tablets, will automatically adjust the time, but traditional clocks will require manual adjustment.
The time change twice a year occurs in more than 70 countries, although some have already abandoned this practice. In 2024, Ukrainian lawmakers voted to abolish the transition to summer and winter time, but this decision has not yet been approved by the president.
Tips for adapting to the new time
- Adjust your sleep schedule a week before the time change by going to bed 15 minutes later.
- Limit physical activities before and after the transition to avoid overexertion.
- Avoid consuming coffee and alcohol before adjusting the clocks.
- Consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink enough water during the adaptation period.
- Postpone the use of gadgets one hour before sleep.
- Walks in the fresh air will help you adapt more quickly to the new time.
Recently, Ukrainians living in Poland were advised to exchange their rights.
There are certain inconveniences associated with switching to winter time, but by following simple tips, one can adapt more easily to the new conditions. Time will change, but it is important to understand how it will affect daily life, especially for those planning trips or dealing with international connections. We hope that the issue of abolishing seasonal time changes will find its resolution soon.
