Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Albania typically begins on the last Sunday in March, when clocks are turned forward by one hour at 1:00 AM to 2:00 AM, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. This practice is aligned with European Union directives on DST.
The concept of Daylight Saving Time was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 but wasn't widely adopted until the 20th century. Albania has observed DST since 1974, albeit with some interruptions during the period before it was standardized across Europe.
There are no specific traditions associated with the start of Daylight Saving Time in Albania. It is regarded more as a functional change than a cultural event.
On the day DST starts, Albanians, like many others in countries observing this shift, adjust their clocks before going to bed on Saturday night or upon waking up on Sunday morning. This change can affect various schedules, including public transport and business operations. People might take advantage of the longer evening daylight hours for outdoor activities or enjoy dusk-time leisure pursuits. There may be some temporary effects like sleep disruption as people's circadian rhythms adjust to the new schedule.
