Overview

• The next daylight saving time change will occur on March 30, 2025, with clocks moving forward one hour at 2:00 AM.
• The EU Commission's 2018 survey revealed that 84% of European citizens oppose the biannual time change, citing health and logistical concerns.
• Efforts to abolish the practice have stalled since 2019, as EU member states cannot agree on adopting permanent summer or standard time.
• Health experts advocate for permanent standard time, arguing it better aligns with natural circadian rhythms and reduces sleep disruption.
• Originally introduced to conserve energy, studies, including those by the German Environment Agency, show no significant energy savings from the time change.
