A time difference of up to two hours could arise between Romania and Hungary
Published
The Hungarian Sleep Association warned that, in the worst-case scenario, a time difference of up to two hours could arise between Romania and Hungary. The topic was raised by the European debate on changing the clocks. Several countries are considering abolishing the switch between summer and winter time, but no decision has yet been made.
Experts say the time difference could have serious consequences. If the two countries use different times, people living in border regions, workplaces and transport may find it harder to adapt. Travel, meetings and cross-border work may also become more complicated to organise.
Sleep researchers also draw attention to the fact that a shift in time affects people's health. Because of the change in sleep rhythm, many may feel more tired, find it harder to concentrate, and their performance may decline. Specialists therefore recommend that decision-makers also take health considerations into account.
Based on the information available so far, the final solution remains uncertain. The countries concerned and the European Union still need to consult on the possible solutions. For the Hungarian population, it will be important to receive timely information about the changes.
