Moving the clocks heats up emotions. Seinäjokinen Merja hopes for a “Brussels revival” and initiative from Finland’s decision-makers, so that the activity could be abandoned regardless of the EU.

Every twice a year, a debate about moving the clocks starts. Among other things, Seinjokiken Merja Liukkonen60, is tired of the procedure.
According to him, the transition to summer time is a little easier, but when changing to winter time, the already early mornings seem to get even earlier.
– Our clock rings at 05.10, my husband leaves for work a little after six. In winter, I have to leave as early as 6:45 in order to have time to scrape the snow and ice from the car. We live in the country, and I have a 25 km commute. In winter, it is slow and laborious on a narrow and very congested road, Liukkonen elaborates.
– The transition to winter time is extremely difficult, there is no way to get into a rhythm.
Animals suffer too
“Moving the fences back and forth puts a strain on animals in addition to humans,” he points out.
– Then I always think about our friends who have cattle. It’s really hard to gradually get the rhythm on the animals. It’s especially difficult for them, says Liukkonen.
– And our cat’s internal clock, how do you change it? It normally wakes us up at five, so by moving the clocks back, it kind of wakes us up at four in the morning.
According to Liukkonen, it would be worthwhile to listen to the experts when it comes to moving the clocks. According to some researchers, it would be worthwhile to switch to winter time permanently for health reasons. Home album
Liukkonen wants to send his best wishes to the decision-makers. According to him, Finland could be proactive in this matter, even if it could complicate, for example, the smoothness of air traffic schedules.
– I would hope that the decision-makers would take this issue into consideration. Even if the EU were to fuss, we could make a completely independent decision on the matter. Does it have to depend on the EU? he criticized.
– There should be some kind of Brussels awakening, so that this dragging out can have some meaning. That the clock should stop moving already.
Whooping cough strikes

Also a Persian Seppo Lehti provide towels for changing watches. According to him, it would be high time to give up the habit in order to live in winter time.
– When I was working in Helsinki and driving a bus, my body was really messed up for almost a month. I couldn’t sleep properly. Then when I woke up, I still felt terribly tired, Lehti, who is already retired, criticized.
The newspaper says that because of the annoyances caused by the transfer of the sages, he got sick more easily.
– Whooping cough and flu hit more easily. I never quite got used to it.

Helsinki Kari69, says that he has protested all the way to the EU Commission about the visa transplant jupaka.
– Even though I am retired, I still feel that the daily rhythm is messed up. Physically, the feeling changes.
Kari wonders why the legal initiative to stop clock shifting was abandoned.
– After all, there were promises back then that this would be abandoned. It seems strange that in the EU they are fiddling with something, but they can’t get this kind of thing done. If a survey were to be held, I would believe that the majority would like to give up moving the clocks.
“No use”

The transition from winter time to summer time or the other way around does not affect everyone.
68-year-old from Kivijärvi Way to go it doesn’t hurt to move the wise men. Unlike many others, he adapts to schedule changes without major problems.
However, he questions the rationality of the action.
– I myself have been talking for many years and with many people, what was the idea behind starting this? This is of no use to anyone, Tapani wonders.
– Rather, this is a disadvantage. Everything has to be changed, schedules and others. We should go back to the old way, and no clock shifts, he decides.
Clocks will be moved forward one hour on Sunday, March 31 at 3 am.
Summer and winter time have been observed permanently in Finland since 1981.
