- amai 3y ago"Some activists believe that the mismatch between Spain's clock time and solar time contributes to the country's unusual daily schedule.[9] They believe that the relatively late sunrises and sunsets shift the average Spaniard's day later than it otherwise would be, and that a return to its original time zone would help boost productivity and bring family and work rhythms into better balance.[10]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Spain#Criticism_of_the_use_of_Central_European_Time https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Spain#Criticism_of_t... But both Portugal and Spain are living in the wrong time zone, which is at least one hour off compared to natural solar time. So it most probably don't make a difference health wise if you move from Portugal to Spain.
- ghaff 3y agoCertainly, it's a plausible theory that Spain being so far off its "natural" solar time (because Franco supposedly switched timezone in WWII to be in sync with Germany) leads to the late dinners--and one I've often heard. I suppose you'd have to look into pre-WWII Spanish dining habits. Whether it's a good or bad thing? <shrug> Personally, I like lighter evenings more than mornings.
