This Friday, March 28, 2025, at 02:00 a.m., Israeli citizens will switch to daylight saving time – and the clocks will be moved forward one hour to 03:00 a.m. This means they will sleep an hour less – but will gain much more light in the afternoon.
Why is this good for us?
The transition to daylight saving time brings with it many benefits for citizens and the entire economy, including:
Energy saving – Fewer hours of artificial lighting means less electricity wasted in the evening. According to estimates, daylight saving time contributes to cumulative savings of millions of shekels per year in energy costs in Israel.
Additional daylight hours for leisure activities – More afternoon light allows citizens to go outside, spend time in parks, beaches, cafes and shopping centers. This means: improved quality of life and support for local businesses.
Positive impact on health – People tend to do more physical activity when there is natural light in the afternoon, which contributes to physical and mental health.
Contribution to road safety – Data from many countries shows that traffic accidents decrease when there is more daylight during rush hour. Daylight saving time reduces the risk of accidents during busy afternoon hours.
Tourism incentive – The sun setting later encourages tourists to stay out until later hours, which contributes to the revenue of both small and large businesses.
And what is the disadvantage?
The change to daylight saving time may cause For mild fatigue in the first few days, especially in children and people sensitive to changes in sleep hours. However, our bodies usually get used to it within a few days – and the benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort.
So don't forget - on the night between Thursday and Friday (28.03.25/XNUMX/XNUMX), move your clocks forward one hour!
We will gain another hour of sunshine – and set off with a new summer in a good atmosphere and positive energy.
Daylight Saving Time will end on Saturday night, dawn to Sunday, Wednesday, October 26.10.2025, XNUMX.
Saving on lighting?
The smell is the lighting is on at exactly the same hours because it turns on when it gets dark and turns off at sunrise, which will now be an hour later, but it's actually the same lighting time...
105 fatalities in road accidents since the beginning of the year (14%+ from 2024)
In the last 365 days, 454 people were killed on the roads.
36% increase in casualties in motorcycle accidents in cities (due to the messenger riots)
There is no contribution to road safety.
The only contribution would be the removal of motorcycles from urban roads.
And sending disturbed young drivers - "racing drivers" - to prison.
If there are savings of millions of shekels, if there are fewer accidents, if there are more free hours, why is there even winter time???!'
Because of the Haredim. They claim that they are forced to pray the morning prayer when it is still dark outside. All the benefits of daylight saving time are of no interest to these delusional people. They get the money and that is what is important… scum.
Why do we even need winter time?
Because in the height of winter, if we don't switch to winter time, sunrise will be at eight in the morning.
