Clocks were set back by one hour over the weekend as the annual transition to winter time took place. The change can give people an extra hour in bed, but it can also disrupt the sleep rhythms of those who have difficulty adjusting. According to the account, science expert Martijn Peters said winter time was preferable and offered three tips for adapting to the change.

The European Commission sought to end the clock changes in 2018, but no decision was reached.
