Remember that this Sunday, October 28, at 02:00, Daylight Saving Time ends 2012 which began on April 1 and which is applied in Mexico since 1996, as well as in 86 countries. As asked your watch one hour delay, so this Sunday dawns with the new schedule.

According to preliminary figures from the Energy Secretariat (Sener), the contribution of the time change this year involved energy savings of 014.26 thousand Giga watts per hour (GWh), equivalent to the annual consumption of the state of Campeche in 2011.

The start of summer generated a cost savings per thousand 273 million pesos, as it ceased to consume the equivalent of 1.8 million barrels of oil and avoided the emission of 677,000 tons of carbon dioxide, the main pollutant the greenhouse effect.

The International Airport of Mexico City (AICM) meanwhile reported that on Sunday the clocks back one hour in the 541 flight information displays its two terminals, by the start of the winter schedule.

In total adjusted clocks in 249 screens and 292 Terminal 1 Terminal 2, which provide data on flight arrivals and departures, located in the corridors of national and international areas, waiting rooms and commercial spaces last.

He stressed that all airlines, both domestic and foreign, passenger and freight, have rescheduled their flight schedules in advance and amend their watches and put to both passengers and users of the end of summer and the start of winter.

In turn, Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) reported that on Sunday, at 02:00 hours, its 14 air terminals adjust their clocks one hour after completion of the DST.

To avoid disappointment Airport Infrastructure Branch agency managers asked aerodromes inform airlines, service providers and retail dealers, clocks one hour delay of its facilities in compliance with the Decree of Seasonal Schedule of the United Mexico.

In this context, Professor, Department of Mechatronics ITESM Campus Santa Fe, Cesar Maldonado, said that rather than seeking to reflect savings in their pockets, people should see DST as a strategy to help curb climate change.

In your opinion, is necessary for the population to expand your vision and does not limit the benefits of the change from a statement reflected in their portfolios, but to a more clean and free of contaminants.

"The fact that we still continue heating the water with natural gas or continue buying cars with very low energy efficiency or how we handle trash, are things that should make us think about what we are doing for the future of the planet, that is proper perspective, "he said.

And while people complain about getting up early, schedule changes, whether summer or winter, simply generate more conditions in the mind than in the body, said the specialist of the Sleep Disorders Clinic at UNAM Humberto Medina Chavez.

He argued that while physiological changes may occur because of the schedule change, the change adaptation process takes about three to five days on average.

"Normally there are no significant changes in the performance of people, but in some cases, changes in sleep schedules can cause disorders such as insomnia, irritability, drowsiness, and sometimes poor job performance," he explained in an interview with Notimex.

Although no specific studies, the Specialist Clinic Sleep Disorders stressed that "where more are affected by schedule changes is in rural areas, mostly because they have to work with animals and these times do not know and people need to be more active in spite of these changes, "he concluded.

Time changes is the clock by one hour during part of the year in which there is more sunlight, in order to reduce power consumption, since the application of reduced seasonal schedule, daily, one hour peak demand electricity.
