Daylight Saving Time Ends: Clocks Go Back in Israel - Time to Sleep In!
It's that time of year again, folks! Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Israel is coming to an end, and our clocks are going back one hour on October 29, 2023, at 2:00 AM.
This means that we'll be waking up to a glorious extra hour of sleep, which is always a welcome change after the long, hot summer. Of course, this also means we'll be losing an hour of precious daylight in the evening, but hey, it's a small price to pay for that extra snooze!
What Does This Mean for Israelis?
For most of us, it means we'll be getting a little more shut-eye on Sunday morning. But it also means we'll be losing an hour of daylight in the evening. So, if you're planning on going out on Saturday night, be sure to factor in the time change!
Some things to remember about the time change:
- Clocks go back: At 2:00 AM on Sunday, October 29th, you'll need to set your clocks back one hour. So, if it's 2:00 AM, set it back to 1:00 AM.
- It's not just about the clocks: The time change can also affect things like your sleep schedule, work hours, and even your mood.
- Be prepared: The time change can be a bit jarring, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to adjust. It might be a good idea to go to bed a little earlier on Saturday night to help prepare for the change.
What Happens After Daylight Saving Time Ends?
After DST ends, Israel will be on Standard Time for the rest of the year. This means we'll be living on GMT+2 until next spring.
So, enjoy the extra hour of sleep, and remember to set your clocks back! And don't worry, we'll be back to DST in just a few months! We'll keep you updated on that front.
