This Saturday, April 1, clocks must be turned back one hour, giving way to winter time in Chile.
Despite the objections of some health experts, as every year the entire continental territory -except the Magallanes Region- will have to turn back their clocks by 60 minutes.
The change must be made at 00:00, so at that time it will be 23:00 again.
In this way, the country will adopt the UTC-4 time zone until Sunday, October 8, when clocks will have to be advanced one hour to return to the current summer time, UTC-3.
The debate about ending this measure gained strength this year, especially for the effects it causes in the first weeks, especially in children and older adults.
Anxiety, stress, fatigue and insomnia are some of the symptoms due to neurobiochemical and neuropsychological alterations as a result of the change in the biological clock.
