On Sunday the clocks go back. Many people don’t worry physically or mentally. A survey now shows that there are differences between women and men. Complaints about health consequences mainly concern nocturnal habits.
According to a recent survey, more women than men suffer from health problems such as sleep disturbances or tiredness due to the time change. This was stated by 37% of women in a representative Forsa survey commissioned by the DAK-Gesundheit in Hamburg.
For men it was 22%. As many as three quarters of those interviewed (76%) believe that the regular changeover to the euro is not necessary and that it should be abolished.
One in five people were late for work after the time change. Compared to the previous year, according to DAK data, the number of people who had already had health problems after the time change decreased by three percentage points.
There are regional differences in time change rejection. In eastern Germany 82% are against, in northern Germany 79%. North Rhine-Westphalia has the lowest rejection rate of 71%. Nationally, 74% of men and 78% of women would pass up a time change. Between September 30 and October 2, 1,001 people were interviewed nationwide.
This Sunday the clocks will go back from 3 to 2 am. From that moment on, after summer time, normal time will return to apply. In 1980, summer time was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. One of the goals was to save energy.
