As the date for the transition to daylight saving time approaches, Polish citizens have been actively seeking information, which is reflected in a rise in Google search queries related to the change. Specifically, searches for terms like "daylight saving time change" and "when is the time change" have increased, highlighting public interest in the upcoming adjustment. With just a few days left until the switch, further increases in these searches can be expected.

The daylight saving time change for 2026 is scheduled to occur overnight from Saturday, March 28, to Sunday, March 29, when clocks will move forward by one hour, from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM. This adjustment means that people will experience one hour less of sleep, which is often a concern for many. The time change is mandated across the entire European Union, with the return to standard time occurring on the last Sunday of October, as determined by a directive that has been in effect since 2001.

The European Commission proposed the abolition of the time change in 2018, following widespread public sentiment against the twice-yearly clock adjustment demonstrated in an online survey among Europeans. A significant majority supported abolishing the clock changes altogether, indicating ongoing debate and controversy over the necessity and impacts of daylight saving time.
