On the night from Saturday to Sunday, October 25–26, 2025, at 3:00 a.m., we will switch from summer time to winter time—the clocks will be turned back by one hour.
Winter time will remain in effect until the end of March 2026.
Although the extra hour of sleep may seem like a pleasant bonus, experts emphasize that changing the daily rhythm can affect well-being: reduced concentration, increased sleepiness, or a lower mood are typical symptoms while the body adjusts to the new schedule.
On the other hand, brighter mornings may have a positive effect on safety on the way to work or school.
It is also worth remembering that although the practice of changing the clocks is legally regulated in Poland until 2026, there are plans to abandon it—which means that next year’s change could be the last if the new regulations come into force.
What to do today:
- Check all mechanical and manual clocks—they need to be set by hand.
- Many electronic devices, such as smartphones and computers, will change the time automatically, but it is worth checking that the time zone has been set correctly.
- Prepare for possible temporary fatigue or disruption—ensure a peaceful night’s sleep and a gentler start to the day.
- Consider the benefits of brighter mornings—this may be a good time for morning exercise or going outside for some fresh air.
- The time change is a small “reset” of our everyday clock—it is good to be prepared for it.
