Here is the last weekend of October and with it the time change. The French can sleep an extra hour when changing from summer time to winter time.
The long summer days will definitely come to an end on this last weekend of October. Indeed, winter time arrives next night, this night from Saturday 29 to Sunday 30 October. When it is indicated 3 am this Sunday, it will be necessary to subtract 60 minutes so that the clock indicates again 2 am. Thus, artificially, countries practicing the time change gain one hour of sleep at the expense of one hour of natural sunshine, because it will be dark an hour earlier. Sunday, October 30 will therefore be the longest day of the year, lasting 25 hours.
This transition to winter (but also summer) time is done automatically on our connected mobile phones; on the other hand, it is recommended to put a reminder on your mobile phone so as not to forget to change the time of the dial on non-connected devices. To ensure that your phone will automatically switch to the correct time, you must check in your smartphone settings that it is correctly configured.
