The transition from summer time to winter time is scheduled for the night of Saturday, October 24, to Sunday, October 25, 2026. At 3:00 a.m. CEST, clocks will be set back to 2:00 a.m. CET, providing an additional hour of sleep.

This change marks the shift from Central European Summer Time (CEST) to Central European Time (CET), which is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To manage the shift in daily routines and potential sleep disorders, experts suggest getting up at least half an hour earlier the following morning and engaging in outdoor exercise to combat fatigue.
