For the past four months, we’ve been on standard time. But overnight Saturday, we’ll turn our clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m., effectively making it 3 a.m. (So don’t schedule any important meetings at 2:30 a.m., because that time won’t exist Sunday — and is not a great time for a meeting, anyway).

What date does daylight saving time start? Do we gain or lose an hour in March? Will Trump end DST? What we know about when clocks spring forward in 2025.

It’s that time of year again — when the days get longer and we lose an hour of sleep! Heading into the early morning hours of Sunday, time will “spring forward,” taking an hour away from sleep that night.

Millions of clocks across the United States will revert to daylight saving time in just a few days. Clocks will “spring forward” one hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, 2025, causing most people to lose an hour of sleep.

When does daylight saving time change? Do we gain an hour or lose an hour in March? What you need to know about DST and when clocks spring forward

Daylight Saving Time (DST) takes place each year on the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday in November. While we “spring forward” in March, in November, the clocks “fall back” and we gain an extra hour of sleep overnight.

Most people in the U.S. will soon face the first the twice-annual hourly disruptions as daylight saving time will sweep into effect in under a week. The practice of springing the clocks ahead an hour started in 1918 as a World War I era measure but was repudiated in 1919 after farmers,

Staying on daylight saving time permanently would also mean no more 4:30 p.m. sunsets, even in the middle of winter. So, the earliest sunsets we'd have in late December and early January would be around 5:30 p.m.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. That means an hour of sleep vanishing in most of the U.S. The change of darker mornings and more evening light together can knock your body clock out of whack. It can lead to trouble sleeping for weeks or longer.
