On Sundays, the clocks go forward from two to three at night. From then on, daylight saving time will apply in almost all European countries.

According to the survey, 25 percent have experienced health problems after changing their watches in the past. The most common complaints were fatigue and exhaustion (85 percent), followed by sleep disturbances (63 percent), difficulty concentrating (36 percent), and irritability (32 percent).

The most common complaints are fatigue and insomnia.

Nearly one in five (19%) came to work late in the morning due to a time change. 16 percent report a depressed mood after the clock change. Women are significantly more likely (32 percent) to be affected by health problems than men (19 percent).

More than three-quarters of respondents (76 percent) believe the clock change is unnecessary and should be removed. A majority of 55 percent is in favor of maintaining the summer time permanently, especially among the working population. Only 37 percent want to keep the winter time and therefore the normal time. Idea research institute Forsa interviewed a total of 1008 people between February 22-24.

The European Union originally planned to end the time change as early as 2018, and the EU Commission has submitted a corresponding bill. However, plans are pending due to different positions between member states. Across Europe, first of all, there is disagreement over which time to apply in the future – summer time or regular time.
