Daylight saving time will begin on Sunday, March 31, with clocks moving forward one hour.
Then the hands on the clock should be moved from 2:00 to 3:00.
Daylight saving time starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October.
The beginning of summer time is a sign of increasingly sunnier, warmer and longer days.
The calculation of time in these areas as it exists today was introduced in 1983 in the then SFRY.
This way of calculating time was first mentioned in 1784 by the American politician Benjamin Franklin in a letter to the editors of the “Paris Newspaper”.
However, as it was a humorous article, it is not clear whether Franklin really wanted to suggest such a thing to the French.
This system was seriously proposed by William Willett in the article “The Loss of Daylight”, published in 1907, but despite strong lobbying he failed to convince the British government to accept it.
The idea of daylight saving time was first implemented in Germany and Austria-Hungary during the First World War, from April 30 to October 1, 1916. Great Britain soon followed that example, from May 21 to October 1 of the same year.
Moving the hands was used in the territory of the then Austria-Hungary from 1916 to 1918.
In Europe, all countries move their hands, except Iceland.
Doctors believe that changing the clock is not natural for the human body and that shorter sleep causes stress for the body, which needs time to get used to the new rhythm.
According to some research, that one hour of shorter sleep is responsible for the feeling of lack of sleep, headaches, cardiac strain, and even a greater number of traffic accidents, since concentration is weaker due to lack of sleep.
Those who know they suffer from heart problems should pay special attention to what they drink and eat on those days, and avoid greater physical exertion, Srna reports.
