Daylight Saving Time Ends in Switzerland

Day: Daylight Saving Time (DST) typically ends on the last Sunday of October in Switzerland. On this day, clocks are turned back one hour at 3:00 AM to 2:00 AM, resulting in an extra hour of sleep for the residents.

History: The concept of DST was first introduced in Switzerland during World War I, then re-established during World War II. After several changes and a period without DST, it was reintroduced in 1981 following a national referendum to align with other European countries.

Traditions: There are no specific traditions associated with the end of Daylight Saving Time in Switzerland. However, it marks a transition into the winter months, and people often use this time to prepare for colder weather by changing seasonal clothing and adjusting household schedules.

Activities: As there's an additional hour gained on this day, many people enjoy extra sleep. Others might take advantage of the time shift to engage in leisure activities or spend more time with family and friends. It's also common for individuals to use this opportunity to replace batteries in smoke detectors and ensure home safety devices are functioning correctly.
