Which States Don’t Observe Daylight Saving Time? Here Are The Two.

Most Americans will set clocks forward one hour Sunday, with half experiencing increased tiredness, while Congress debates permanent daylight saving time legislation.

  • Daylight Saving Time will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, when clocks jump from 1:59 a.m. to 3 a.m., remaining in effect until Nov. 1.
  • The practice dates back to 1918 when Congress introduced DST as a wartime fuel-saving measure, and it was standardized in 2007, with dozens of proposals over the last decade seeking permanence but stalling.
  • Research shows the American Heart Association warns that 'not unlike when one travels across many time zones, how long it can take is very different for different people.'
  • Residents should expect to lose one hour of sleep Sunday, with half of the country facing increased tiredness; practical tips include shifting bedtimes 15–20 minutes, changing clocks Saturday, and testing smoke alarms.
  • State and federal efforts show about 19–20 states seek permanent DST, but federal law limits this while only Arizona and Hawaii use permanent standard time; lawmakers propose HR 7378 and Rep. Gregory W. Steube's bills, with British Columbia adopting permanent DST recently.
