Ko ura prehiti telo: za koga je prehod na zimski čas najtežji?
Moving clock hands takes only a few seconds, but the human body does not always adapt its rhythm as quickly. Some people hardly notice the change when clocks shift, while others struggle for days with fatigue and poor concentration. They may also experience waking up too early. Expert Leja Dolenc Grošelj explains that while social time changes instantly, the internal clock adjusts gradually. This shift serves as a reminder that sleep is influenced by the rhythm of the entire day. Factors include light, movement, rest, and evening habits.
Za premik kazalcev na uri potrebujemo kvečjemu nekaj sekund, telo pa svojega ritma ne prilagodi vedno tako hitro. Nekateri bodo tako spremembo ob premiku ure komaj opazili, drugi pa se bodo še nekaj dni spopadali z utrujenostjo, zgodnjim prebujanjem ali slabšo zbranostjo. "Ko premaknemo uro, se družbeni čas spremeni takoj, naša notranja ura pa se prilagaja postopoma," pojasnjuje strokovnjakinja Leja Dolenc Grošelj. Prehod na zimski čas je zato tudi opomnik, da naš spanec "živi" v ritmu celotnega dneva: svetlobe, gibanja, počitka in navad, ki jih prinesemo v večer.
