Every year, Ukraine switch­es its clocks to win­ter time on the last week­end of Octo­ber, on the night from Sat­ur­day to Sun­day.

In 2019, the clocks will be changed on Sun­day, Octo­ber 27 at 4:00 a.m.!

The hands will need to be moved back 1 hour, that is, it will be three in the morn­ing instead of four. Now it will seem to you that it start­ed to get dark ear­li­er, and the body will grad­u­al­ly start prepar­ing for win­ter.

How to prepare for changing the clocks

Despite the fact that such a need aris­es every year, most peo­ple have a hard time trans­fer­ring to a new regime. Here are 7 impor­tant tips to make chang­ing your clocks eas­i­er.

• Start prepar­ing the body for the trans­fer of the hands of the clock in advance. Try to wake up and go to bed ear­li­er. The main task is to get a good night’s sleep every day.
• It is bet­ter to cook break­fast, clean and iron the clothes in which you will go to work in the evening. In the morn­ing, you should be able to sleep half an hour longer.
• Dur­ing the peri­od of adap­ta­tion to win­ter time, which, depend­ing on the char­ac­ter­is­tics of the body, lasts from two weeks to a month, do not leave for the morn­ing mat­ters that can take many vil­lages.
• Music will pro­vide you with a cheer­ful rise. Make a playlist of rhyth­mic com­po­si­tions that lift your mood and make you want to dance, and turn it on imme­di­ate­ly after wak­ing up.
• Do not for­get about the con­trast show­er. It will eas­i­ly dri­ve away the rem­nants of sleep. Fol­low the diet and be sure to take mul­ti­vi­t­a­mins. Your diet dur­ing the tran­si­tion peri­od should be bal­anced.
• Avoid over­work. In the first two weeks after mov­ing the hands of the clock, you can afford to be a lit­tle lazy. On week­ends, try to rest well.

Changing the clock to winter time: how to adapt the mode in 5 steps

How to pre­pare your body for win­ter time in just one day off? Experts advise to fol­low the fol­low­ing rec­om­men­da­tions.

1. Start adjust­ing to the change of clocks from Fri­day evening. Spend this day, and all the fol­low­ing week­ends, as active as pos­si­ble, prefer­ably in the fresh air.
2. It will be good to lis­ten to pleas­ant music. It is also use­ful to watch your favorite come­dies or enter­tain­ing TV shows.
3. Go to bed a lit­tle lat­er than usu­al and wake up lat­er on Sun­day too.
4. Close the win­dows with thick cur­tains so that the sun does not force you to get up ear­li­er.
5. Fol­low a bal­anced diet, because in order to sur­vive stress with­out harm­ing your health, your body needs to receive all the nec­es­sary vit­a­mins.

Winter and summer time in Ukraine

We will remind you that our coun­try changes the time twice a year. The tran­si­tion to the win­ter sea­son is car­ried out on the last week­end of Octo­ber, and to the sum­mer sea­son — on the last Sun­day of March.

In 2011, deputies of the Verk­hov­na Rada pro­posed to aban­don per­ma­nent trans­fers of arrows, but it turned out that the east­ern­most and west­ern­most regions would suf­fer great­ly from every­day incon­ve­niences under such con­di­tions, so every­thing returned to nor­mal.
