Clocks go back this weekend

In compliance with the proposal of the UN European Commission and concomitantly with the member states of the European Commonwealth, on 29 October, the last Sunday of the month, at 3.00 m, Moldova switches to the winter time by setting watches one hour backward. The time is switched on last Sunday of October in order to reduce the expenses for power, to coordinate the flows of transport, to organize TV-radio-broadcast. Doctors say that the switch to winter time for the human body is less difficult than to the summer one – people get used to this switch more quickly than in spring. For a full adaptation, the organism needs usually about two weeks to get accustomed to the new regime entirely. The switch to winter and summer time started to be practiced for the first time in the UK in 1908.
