Change of time: dates 2022, when is the last time?
En France, on change d'heure deux fois par an. Le passage à l'heure d'hiver a lieu le dernier weekend complet d'octobre et le passage à l'heure d'été survient le dernier weekend complet du mois de mars. Le changement d'heure a été instauré pour la première fois en France en 1916. Il a été abandonné de 1945 à 1975, puis a été remis en place en 1976, après le choc pétrolier de 1973 face à la flambée des prix de l'énergie. Depuis 1998, les dates de changement d'heure ont été harmonisées au sein de l'Union européenne. Le but ? Gagner une heure d'ensoleillement naturel pour faire des économies d'énergie (électricité). Dates exactes du changement d'heure et mode d'emploi pour bien s'adapter.
When do we move forward or back an hour?
That's the big question! When you switch to daylight saving time, you have to move your clockwork one hour (a complete turn as shown in the clock image below). During daylight saving time, we step back. Here is a mnemonic way to remember:
>> Le passage à l'heure d'hiver a lieu au mois d'octobRE, on REcule donc d'une heure.
>> Le passage à l'heure d'été a lieu vers le mois d'AVril, on AVance donc d'une heure

How to avoid fatigue when changing time?
Changing time can disrupt biological rhythms. Hence the importance of anticipating it in order to better regulate itself. It usually takes 3-4 days to fully accept a change in time.
How do I prepare for a change of time for children and babies?
Children are particularly sensitive to changes in sleep rhythm. To help her adapt smoothly, you must try to anticipate the change of time by gradually shifting the key moments of the day such as meals, NAP time, bath time, bedtime...
► for summer time: meals and bedtime are brought forward by 15 minutes 4 days before daylight saving time. For example, on the first day, you eat at 12: 30, the second day at 12: 15, the third day at 12: 00, and the fourth day at 11: 45. The shutters are closed well so that the child is not disturbed by daylight.
► for winter time: meals and bedtime are delayed by 15 minutes 4 days before daylight saving time. There is no hesitation in using a dawn simulator to facilitate the alarm clock.
Stop and last time change: when will the end be in France?
The change of time has become common to the majority of the Member States of the European Union since 1998, but the system is increasingly being criticized. At the request of the European Parliament, the European Commission organised an online consultation in the summer of 2018. Of the 4.6 million Europeans who participated, 84% were against changing time. On 12 September 2018, the President of the Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, stated that he wanted to end the seasonal time change from 2019. In March 2019, MEPs voted in favour of abolishing DST change from 2019. A few weeks later, they reversed their position and finally decided to postpone the measure so that EU member states could decide whether to switch to summer or winter time, particularly according to their time zones. The text has not been reviewed to date.
