Moldova switches to summer time on the night of March 30, at 2am. Clocks will be set one hour forward. Thus, the difference between Moldova’s hour and the Coordinated Universal Time will be of three hours, IPN reports.
Summer time is the legally adopted time in some countries or territories. It is one hour ahead of the standard time, which is called winter time. The change to Daylight Saving Time allows using less energy in lighting by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours.
The change of hour affects the people in a different way. Some people become nervous, tired and agitated and cannot easily wake up. As a result, there appear headaches and the work capacity diminishes. Every person adapts oneself differently to the new regime. The adaptation period can last for even a month.
Germany was the first country that implemented summer time, on April 30, 1916. It was followed by the UK, Belgium and, Denmark.
