Don't Forget to Spring Forward Sunday as Daylight Saving Time Starts

Daylight Saving Time causes changes in light exposure and sleep patterns, affecting daily routines in areas observing the time shift, experts said.

  • This weekend, residents in areas that observe DST should set clocks forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, as broadcasters and Dr. Mike Cirigliano reminded, with coverage by Stefan Kunert.
  • The practice traces to 1918 wartime fuel-saving measures and was standardized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, while sleep researchers warn yearly clock changes disrupt circadian rhythms.
  • The shift moves an hour of daylight from morning into evening, altering light exposure and routines as sunset times appear about one hour later and evenings stay brighter after the change.
  • In Canada, British Columbia will move clocks forward on March 8 and stay on DST, giving residents eight months to prepare for Nov. 1, 2026 as Premier David Eby said.
  • Lawmakers remain divided after the Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2022, while President Trump urged Congress to push for more daytime light, saying `The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day.
