Spain will switch to winter time this weekend, setting clocks back one hour at 3:00 AM on Sunday, October 27th.

This change, while seemingly minor, affects vulnerable groups like the elderly and children, who may struggle to adjust their biological clocks.

Experts suggest gradual routine adjustments to ease the transition.

The time change, originally intended to save energy, is increasingly questioned for its effectiveness, with minimal savings reported.

Despite debates, the practice will continue in Spain until at least 2026, as regulated by the EU.

The change also impacts night shift workers, who may face longer hours without additional pay, depending on their contracts.
