This weekend, New Zealanders will “fall back” as Daylight Saving Time ends.
On Sunday at 3 a.m., clocks will be set back one hour to 2 a.m., giving everyone an extra hour of sleep. New Zealand has used this system since 1927, with current times in place since 2007.
In spring, clocks are moved forward to New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT), and in autumn, they go back to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST). However, the tradition of changing clocks twice a year has caused debate. Some people, including a group in Te Anau, have opted out of changing their clocks and want to stop Daylight Saving altogether.
Critics argue that the time change disrupts the body’s internal clock, known as circadian rhythm, leading to poorer sleep and slower reaction times. There are growing calls for New Zealand to adopt permanent summer hours, claiming social and economic benefits. A group called Take Back The Clocks is pushing for this change. The debate continues over whether New Zealand should keep or ditch Daylight Saving.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
