In the night between Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 March we slept an hour less: the annual appointment with daylight saving time is back, at 2.00 on 26 March.
Despite the lost sleep time (we moved the clock forward one hour) and the initial problems of adapting our biorhythm, there is good news. The transition from solar time to summer time involves an extra hour of light. Not only that: we will use less energy for lighting and therefore we will also save a little on the cost of the electricity bill. So not all bad comes to hurt.
Summer time has existed in Italy for 101 years and in particular since 1916. Today a quarter of the world's population lives in countries that adopt summer time and since 1996 its arrival has taken place with the same times and methods among all the nations of the Union European. The only one among the large countries not to comply is Russia which instead abolished it in 2014.
