Time Until Next Change
Health Considerations for Czech Republic Residents
Medical research has revealed important health impacts of time changes in Czech Republic. The spring forward transition is associated with a 10% increase in heart attacks during the first three days after the change. Car accidents also spike by approximately 8% on the Monday following the spring time change.
Agricultural Considerations
Farmers in Czech Republic have historically had mixed feelings about DST. While the original justification for DST included giving farmers more daylight hours, modern farming practices rely heavily on the sun's position rather than clock time. Dairy farmers particularly note that cows don't adjust their biological clocks, creating temporary disruptions in milking schedules.
Energy Consumption Patterns in Czech Republic
Recent studies on energy consumption during DST in Czech Republic show modest savings of approximately 0.3% in electricity usage. However, these savings are offset by increased gasoline consumption as people take advantage of extended daylight for travel and recreation. The net energy impact remains a subject of ongoing research and debate among policy makers.

✓ Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
✓ Use the phrase 'Spring forward, fall back' to remember which direction to change your clocks.
