Standard time transition scheduled for October 25

The transition from daylight saving time to standard time is scheduled for the night between Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25. During this shift, clocks will be set back by one hour, resulting in longer nights and shorter days.

Medical experts note that the change can cause temporary physiological disruptions, such as drowsiness, irritability, and mood variations. Luigi Ferini-Strambi, director of the sleep medicine center at San Raffaele Hospital, described the adjustment period as a form of ‘mini jet lag’ as the body adapts to new rhythms.

While political debates regarding the utility of seasonal time changes continue, scientific research suggests a different approach. An analysis published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal indicates that most scientific evidence supports the permanent adoption of standard time to avoid the biannual disruption.
