When to switch time to winter. Russia switched clocks to constant winter time

When do we change clocks in 2015? Will there be a clock change at all?

In October 2014, Russia moved the clock back an hour and switched to permanent winter time. More precisely, this time is called not winter, but zone. Recall that from spring 2011 to autumn 2014 there was constant summer time. Before 2011, there was a seasonal time in Russia, when all Russians turned their clocks twice a year - once back and once forward.

Like every year, many people are concerned about the question - will there be a clock change in 2015 in Russia or not? It is not yet possible to say for sure that in 2015 the time will forever remain winter. Lawmakers love to improve life. People's opinions are divided on this matter - some support the transition to winter time, some agree to translate the clock twice a year. It is almost guaranteed that in 2015 there will be no daylight saving time in Russia.

There will be no clock change in 2015 in Russia.

Daylight Saving Time:

In Russia, in 2015, they will not switch clocks to winter time. In Ukraine, the transfer of clocks to winter time 2015 will take place on the night of October 25, 2015 at 4:00. That's when the hands of the clock all move back an hour.

On the night of October 25-26, clocks throughout Russia were switched to constant winter time. At 2.00 Moscow time, the inhabitants of the country moved the arrows back an hour. After that time will not change. Due to the translation of the arrows, the owners of gadgets on the Android system may suffer. And brokers on the Moscow Exchange will be able to win, for whom it will be more convenient to trade securities

Constant winter time was returned to Russia on July 1, 2014. Then the State Duma amended the law "On the calculation of time." July 22 Russian President Vladimir Putin law.

According to the law, the country was supposed to switch to winter time on October 26 at 2.00 Moscow time. At the same time, there are no plans to change clocks in the future, and there will be no spring transition to summer time.

The number of time zones in Russia has also been increased. Now they are not nine, but ten. This was done taking into account the approximation to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zones. The new time zone is ahead of Moscow time by one hour, and the Udmurt Republic and Samara Region. Time in adjacent regions can no longer differ by more than one hour.

During the transition to winter time, devices operating on operating system Android. About this a few days ago at Google. The company said owners would have to manually reset the watch. “Unfortunately, your Android will not be able to automatically reset the clock to the new time. And this may mean, for example, that your alarm clock will ring an hour later than necessary. We know this can be inconvenient and we apologize,” the company said in a press release.

Google recommended taking precautions in advance. "To prevent you from being late for your scheduled meetings and events, we recommend that you turn off the "Network date and time" and "Network time zone" functions in the settings and set the correct settings manually," the press release said.

Moscow brokers operating on the Moscow Exchange can benefit from the transition to winter time. “With Russia switching to winter time and increasing the time of crossing the trading day between Russia and London, Moscow brokers will be more comfortable working with international investors, and international participants will be able to trade on the Moscow Exchange. All this should lead to an increase in the liquidity of trading in Russian securities”, - Anna Kuznetsova, Managing Director for the Stock Market of the Moscow Exchange, RBC.

However, according to her, the effect of the clock change will not be noticeable until March 2015.

The transition to winter and summer time was canceled in the summer of 2011 at the initiative of Dmitry Medvedev. After that, Russia began to live according to constant summer time. At the same time, the number of time zones in Russia was reduced from 11 to nine. Medvedev explained his initiative by saying that changing the clock is stressful for the human body. "I'm not talking about the unfortunate cows and other animals that do not understand the translation of the clock and do not understand why milkmaids come to them at a different time," he said.

In the spring of 2012, Vladimir Putin announced that the government might reconsider this decision. However, the bill promptly prepared in the State Duma was not considered. In 2013, the Supreme Court was approached by several public organizations, who demanded the abolition of daylight saving time, but they were refused.

The issue of changing clocks in October 2015 became very topical, as completely contradictory information is published on the Internet. Those who regularly watch the news will remember that in the fall of 2014, the last time in the history of the clock was announced for winter time. The Russian government responsibly declared that there would be no more manipulations with time.

When was time translation first introduced?

Initially, they began to translate time in Europe. This was necessary to save resources in connection with the First World War. The reform was accepted quite well, as in winter, when daylight hours decreased, people could go without lighting fixtures. At the same time, in the summer, the work schedule was also built to suit the needs of peasants and workers. It got dark an hour later, but dawned early enough.

In 1917, the system of summer and winter time was introduced in Russia. It was used until 2011. Then came into force a decree on the abolition of the transition to an hour back and back, which was signed by the current President Dmitry Medvedev. Similar initiatives have been tried before, for example, in 1991.

In 2019, there will be no arrow translations, as the country has switched to standard time and the need for constant transitions disappeared.

Benefits of winter time

The last clock change was made by the inhabitants of Russia in the middle of autumn 2014. Then the clock hands were moved back 60 minutes - and according to the season, the time became winter. It operates on the territory of our country and at the moment. Now there are no prerequisites for the fact that a different time will be introduced or the time translation will be returned twice a year, as it was before.

From the point of view of astronomy, the current calculation is closest to the natural astronomical regime of day and night. From the position of physiology, it is the closest to human biorhythms. Therefore, it was worth initially dwelling on it. However, in 2011 was mistakenly selected summer mode daylight hours as final. This negatively affected the health and well-being of Russians.

Why Daylight Savings Time Isn't Good for Humans

The translation of the clock initially meant moving the hands twice a year, but after the start of the reform, it was decided to stop at summer version. First of all, the immunity of people suffered from this. Doctors recorded an increase in the number of people with a cold, and there was also a fairly serious outbreak of influenza throughout the country. This was due to a significant decrease in immunity.

The reason for this was the lack sunlight especially in the morning hours. Waking up with the first rays of the sun is a natural process for a person. Sunlight activates all body systems. It fills people with energy, sets them in a working mood and gives vigor. If there is not enough morning sunlight, then the human psyche and immunity will suffer first of all. Due to the reduction of daylight hours, people also experience a decrease in mood.

The experts also recommended that the start of classes in schools and other educational institutions be half an hour later. Such a transfer of time will not be complete, but in autumn and winter this initiative would be useful for increasing concentration and, accordingly, for increasing academic performance. Possibly rescheduled calls educational institutions will be the next time-related reform.

Why doctors are against seasonal time

From a medical point of view, the current state of affairs (in 2019) is ideal. In summer, there is enough sunlight for the synthesis of vitamin D, and in winter, the beginning of the working day falls at the time when it starts to get light outside.

Changing the clock can cause desynchronosis and it can take up to a month to adapt to the transition to seasonal time. In addition to the standard inconveniences - being late and losing orientation in time - constant changes can cause:

• violations of sleep and rest in both adults and children;
• the need to reconsider the lifestyle (up to a change in a comfortable biorhythm);
• exacerbation of nervous and cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.

Indeed, according to statistics, the number of heart attacks and strokes at the end of March and October dropped significantly after the time switch was canceled. For example, in 2017, the death rate during the spring months dropped significantly. It is not yet known whether the autumn will be as successful in terms of diseases and deaths, but in general the situation has become more positive.

What is rhythm mismatch

All of the above negative points are caused by a mismatch of human biological rhythms. In 2017, large-scale studies of this physiological deviation were carried out. Each person has his own specific mode of sleep and vigor, in which he is most comfortable living. Residents of megacities and just people who work or study, and so very often “break” their biorhythm and adjust it to the required activity schedule.

To date, three types of biological rhythms have been identified. All people are divided into the following groups:

• “owls” are active in the evening and late at night, so they prefer to go on vacation late and get up closer to lunch time;
• "larks" - active during daylight hours, so they prefer to wake up with sunrise and fall asleep early;
• "Doves" - people for some reason combining both of the above groups.

The last variety of people with a floating or artificially adjusted schedule is the most vulnerable from the point of view of medicine. Their sleep and rest regimen is most often dictated by circumstances, therefore it is not optimal. In 2019, it will become easier for such people to live, since they no longer need to manipulate the translation of the arrows. It is easier to endure the change of seasons and changes in daylight hours not only for “pigeons”, but also for “larks”, since winter time is the most physiological for them.

Almost all Russians experienced the consequences of a mismatch of rhythms:

• increasing irritability;
• low performance;
• insomnia;
• decrease in concentration;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Residents of Russia will not have to change the clock this time, since a year ago, according to Russian Federation changed to regular winter time. Also doesn't happen change of clocks to winter time 2015 in Crimea, DNR and LNR, since these regions are this moment use Moscow time.

As has been repeatedly explained, such a measure is being taken in order to save the country's energy resources. After all, as we know, in winter there is not enough daylight hours, and, accordingly, the consumption of electricity increases significantly. Switching clocks to winter time will save energy.

How will the transition to winter time affect our health

At first glance, such a transition should only have a positive effect, because we have at least an hour left to sleep in the morning. But no, because, according to doctors, when we switch to winter time, our body does not have time to rebuild, which disrupts our sleep and performance. After all, the body of each person depends on the change in the cycles of sunlight, which means when it starts to get dark outside, our activity begins to fall, and vice versa, as soon as it dawns, our body is awake. And any changes during this period will be a strong burden on our body.

In addition, in winter it starts to get dark earlier, so our body needs rest. However, most of the people are still working. This is also an additional test for our body.

How to adapt your body to the transition to winter time

In order to easily survive this period and not change your daily routine, you need to prepare for the transfer of time in advance and then every morning you will feel more cheerful and work more productively and efficiently. To do this, follow these guidelines:

• 3-4 days before the clock change, try to go to bed and, accordingly, get up a little later. During this time, you will be able to adapt to the regime change;
• in the morning, close the windows tightly so that daylight does not seep into the room, and when you wake up, make sure that there is enough light in the house;
• try to do exercises during daylight hours, and best of all in the morning, but in the evening you don’t need to immediately run to the TV or computer, it’s better to take a walk on fresh air and at home you can devote time to your hobby.

In general, during this period, it is necessary to overload yourself with unnecessary information as little as possible, this includes TV, social networks, games and so on. When switching to winter time, make sure that your body receives all the necessary vitamins and minerals. After all, your body needs resources to maintain immunity and the healthy functioning of all organ systems.

It is known that in October 2014 Russia adopted a constant winter (zone) time, and before that, from 2011 to 2014, summer time was always in effect. Until 2011, the inhabitants of Russia lived according to the "seasonal" time, which meant that the clock went back and forth twice a year.

Interesting fact! The mission control center in Russia never changes the time - it always works according to Moscow winter time.

At present, many are concerned about the question: will there be a transition to summer time in Russia in 2015, when will the clock be switched, on what date and at what time. It can already be said with certainty and certainty that in our country there will be no transition to daylight saving time in 2015. However, no one can guarantee that the time will forever remain winter: no one has yet canceled the love of the creators of laws for change.

Thus, remember that there will be no daylight saving time in 2015.

How and when do the clocks change

For the first time in world history, the clock was moved in the UK. And it happened in 1907. This tradition came to Russia in 1981, when the clock was first switched to daylight saving time, although “timid” attempts to carry out a “time reform” have been known to our country since 1917. Why do we change the clock in the summer? Many argue that by changing the course of time, we lengthen daylight hours by one hour, thanks to which electricity is consumed in an economical mode, since most of us turn on indoor lights an hour later. And in winter, the clock hands move back an hour so that we can sleep more and not leave our warm beds before sunrise, which, according to doctors, is quite unfavorable for the body.

Curious! In some countries, the clock hands are never translated. Reason: religious dogmas. For example, in Japan and China, they believe that "playing with time is not within the competence of a person."

Clock hands are usually reset twice a year. Summer time is set on the last Sunday of April, and winter time is set on the last Sunday of October. What time do the arrows translate? This happens at 3 o'clock, that is, at night, so it is recommended to move the clock before going to bed, that is, on Saturday evening.

Don't worry about your modern gajiits. They are so “smart” that they do not need a mechanical clock change, this happens automatically without the intervention of their owners.

Interesting! Where to move the clock: forward or backward, the name of the season of the year in which this happens tells us. "Spring" - "forward" one hour, "Autumn" - one hour "back".
