Daylight Saving Time (DST) typically ends in Bulgaria on the last Sunday of October, when clocks are set back one hour at 4:00 AM to 3:00 AM local standard time. This practice is in line with the European Union's directive for DST arrangements.
The concept of DST was first introduced during World War I to save energy by extending daylight hours. It has been adopted and revoked multiple times over the years across various countries. Bulgaria, like many other European nations, follows the convention established by the EU, although there have been debates about the effectiveness and future of this practice.
There are no specific traditions associated with the end of Daylight Saving Time in Bulgaria. Since it usually happens during the night between Saturday and Sunday, most people enjoy the practical benefit of an extra hour of sleep.
It's worth noting that discussions about abolishing DST are ongoing at the EU level, which could potentially affect how Bulgaria and other member states handle time changes in future years.
