Ukraine switches to winter time: clocks set back one hour
Published
In Ukraine, the transition to winter time has been completed. In accordance with this transition, clocks were set back one hour during the night of the last Sunday of October.
From this point on, dawn comes a little earlier by the clock, and evenings become dark earlier. Many people note that due to the time change, they need time to get used to the new daily and sleep routine. Doctors usually advise going to bed and waking up at the usual time during the first few days so the body adapts more quickly.
The switch to winter time applies to ordinary clocks at home, at work, in transport, and on phones, which update the time automatically. Some people who use old or mechanical clocks should set them manually.
In Ukraine, time will continue to be changed twice a year, and the next switch to summer time will take place in the spring. It is worth following official announcements for exact dates and possible changes.
