March 28, 2020 At 2.00 am, between Saturday 28 and Sunday March 29, it will be up to the clocks to move forward by 60 minutes, at least for those 'old style' that do not have the automatic updates as the technological era requires. We will sleep less, but in return we will have more light and longer days.Daylight saving time, implemented by most industrialized countries in the name of energy saving, will remain in effect for seven months, until Sunday 25 October. Thus, until 2021, when the 'passage' should be abolished.
With all those forced into the house by the restrictive rules to stem the coronavirus it does not seem that there will be greater inconvenience. Thanks to a spring that has not yet fully taken off and that does not force us to curb the desire for walks, having an extra hour of light but having to spend it within four walls does not seem to be able to create great problems for the Italians.
"Summer time will come, with a change that may lead some to need an adaptation phase, but the calmer rhythms imposed by the life spent at home for the emergency related to the new coronavirus, could play in favor, making the less impactful change. " To explain it is Enrico Zanalda, president of the Italian Society of Psychiatry (SIP). "At home - Zanald highlights - it is good to keep the usual rhythms: the fact that everything is closed in the evening and you cannot go out brings us closer to a lifestyle more similar to that of our ancestors, who did not go out to the restaurant or theater Of course, the TV can stay on all night, but you have the opportunity to watch it at other times of the day. In addition, I don't think there is a commitment, for many, to get up at the same time to go to work. or at school the time change should be less annoying ".
