Like many other Europeans and Britons, people in France turned the clock back one hour on Sunday with the beginning of winter time this year.
The new time setting kicked off at 3:00 am so the clock was turned backward to 2:00 am and many people enjoyed an extra hour of sleep during the weekend.
At the same time, Morocco waived the time changing approach and decided to stick to daylight savings time throughout the year.
Winter time gives French people an extra hour of sleep, however, many Parisians say they have grown accustomed to this change, which does not impact their daily routine.
This time change may be the last in Europe after the European Commission announced last month plans to suspend the winter/summer time system starting 2019. In a survey, millions of people described this system as a hectic change.
The commission wants the governments of EU member states to take a final decision on the time they want to adopt permanently by April 2019. Countries can stick to the summer time in October 2019, or to turn the clock back 60 minutes to adopt the winter time permanently.
The member states had the opportunity to discuss this matter collectively on Monday during an unofficial meeting that gathered the EU’s transportation ministers in Brussels.
