Studies suggest that biorhythms are disrupted by changing the clocks
The European Parliament has backed a proposal to stop the obligatory one-hour clock change which extends daylight hours in summer EU-wide. The proposal would give each member state a choice from 2021: either to keep the current summer time system or scrap the twice-yearly clock changes. Under an EU directive, all 28 states currently switch to summer time on the last Sunday of March and back to winter time on the last Sunday of October.
