Bulgaria switches to winter time at the end of October
Published
Bulgaria will once again change its clocks, switching to the winter time regime. This change occurs every year on the last Sunday of October, with the goal of making better use of daylight during the colder months.
On the night of October 27 (Sunday), we must turn the clock hands back by one hour. Thus, at 04:00 in the morning, the time will change to 03:00. This means that on Sunday, we will be able to sleep for one hour longer.
The switch to winter time is often associated with earlier sunsets in the evening, but in return, the mornings will be brighter. Experts advise people to be careful, as the change in time can affect the biological rhythm and sleep of some people during the first few days.
Although the idea of abolishing seasonal time changes has been discussed in the European Union for years, it remains mandatory for all member states, including Bulgaria, for the time being. At the moment, there is no final decision on exactly when we will stop moving the clock hands.
This change will remain in effect until the last Sunday of March next year, when we will switch back to summer time and move the clock hands forward by one hour.
