In a sad twist of fate, Willett never got to see it in action as he died the year before. ![]() That is when daylight saving was officially introduced. His material, which proposed the changing of the clocks, was discussed by the British government at the time but was never implemented until 1916. It was called ‘The Waste of Daylight’, and its contents were designed to encourage people to get out of bed earlier in the morning. It originated in the United Kingdom by one William Willett – the great-great-grandfather of Coldplay’s Chris Martin – published a pamphlet back in 1907. One of the historic reasons for this time change was to promote energy savings by gaining longer hours of natural sunlight during working hours, thus reducing energy consumption. These time changes are regulated by Directive 2000/84/EC of the Council of the European Community. As a result, we will notice in the mornings that the sky has not yet finished dawning, but, on the contrary, in the evenings, it takes longer for it to get dark. This is probably the least pleasant of the two time changes that we make during the year, as we lose one hour in bed. The exact moment in which we have to change the time in Spain will be on the night of Saturday, March 25 going into Sunday 26. We need to move all of our clocks, watches, mobile phones etc, one hour ahead at 2am, which automatically becomes 3am peninsular official time. ![]()
