Don’t say we didn’t warn you! September is not only synonymous with national holidays and tiki tiki ti (well, it is, but that’s still a long way off), it is also linked to the arrival of spring and the start of daylight-saving time. That’s why this Saturday night, September 2, we should set our clocks ahead one hour (+ 1 hour). That is, when it strikes 00:00 hours, it will actually be 01:00 hours in the early hours of Sunday morning.
This change brings with it the feeling of longer and sunnier days, earlier sunrise and later sunset, but it also generates certain doubts. For example, this measure applies from the regions of Arica and Parinacota to the region of Aysén, and also includes Rapa Nui and the Salas and Gómez Islands. However, in the region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica the same timetable is maintained.
Although most smart devices come with a default automatic configuration, “it is not always activated in all cases. That is why the call is to be attentive to phones, tablets and computers, and if necessary, the update should be done manually,”, explained Entel’s assistant manager of products and terminals, Ignacio Reyes.
How to do it? This will depend on the operating system of the devices, however, the steps to follow are very simple. Below, the technology and telecommunications company provides a step-by-step guide:
For Apple devices, such as iPhone, they should go to their phone’s Settings and select the option General > Date and Time > activate Set Automatically.
In the case of devices with Android operating system, in the Settings or Configuration section they should select General Administration or Systems and Updates > Date and Time > activate Set Automatically option.
In turn, Reyes mentions, “It is increasingly common to have smart devices connected to other electronic devices, and it is enough to make just one configuration. For example, in the case of smartwatches, it is updated according to the cell phone time, and for smart home devices, they are managed through an application on the phone and updated according to the same time”.
One hour less sleep
These time changes also generate modifications in people’s daily routines, specifically in the adjustment to new sleep schedules.
“We are living in a hyperconnected society, so it is key to interiorize concepts such as digital health so that the use of technology does not affect the adaptation to new sleep schedules. This concept is associated with the development and use of technology to improve health. A good alternative could be to activate the “rest” or “bedtime” mode on cell phones”,, said Entel’s assistant manager of products and terminals.
The benefit of these “modes” is that when it is time to go to sleep, they help to disconnect to rest throughout the night without interruptions. Depending on the operating system, different functions can be configured, such as silencing calls, notifications and even changing the color of the screen to a night mode.
How to activate it? You must go to the Clock or Alarm section > Press bedtime > Set a bedtime and the days you will use it > Repeat the same steps with the wake-up time.
