Daylight Saving Time Kicks Off on Sunday. Here's How to Get Ready
Most U.S. states move clocks forward one hour at 2 a.m., losing an hour of sleep but gaining longer evening daylight during spring and summer months.
- On Sunday, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. local time, when clocks move forward one hour, ending standard time and increasing evening daylight for U.S. residents.
- DST aims to move daylight into evening hours for spring and summer by reallocating daylight to extend evening light rather than morning light.
- To adjust, start shifting sleep by 15 minutes nightly and seek morning sunlight, as sleep experts say time changes disrupt circadian rhythm, reducing REM and deep sleep and increasing safety risks.
- Some states and territories, including American Samoa, most of Arizona, Guam, Hawaii, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands, do not observe DST, and states can opt out without Department of Transportation approval.
- Advocacy groups press for permanent standard time while experts remain divided, despite the Senate passing the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 in 2022 and Sen. Rick Scott reintroducing legislation in 2025-2026.
