Transition to winter time is not so harmless
Transition to winter time is perceived by many as an opportunity to spend in beds one more hour.
However experts say that putting a clock one hour back is not so harmless for an organism.
Even such insignificant change of the schedule, in opinion of Nile Stanley - the expert from hospital of the English county Norfolk, can break the habitual schedule of sleep and wake and to lead to exhaustion. According to the scientist, to adapt completely to the new time a person may need about three days.
To struggle with negative consequences of putting a clock back, the expert advises to change the schedule gradually, allowing time for relaxing that allows then to fall asleep better.
However, according to experts, this advice is followed only by 40 % of the British. The others consider that putting a clock back can hardly affect their state of health and prefer not to change the habitual schedule of life essentially.
