Get Ready To Turn The Clocks Forward: Daylight Saving Time Returns This Weekend

It’s Almost Time To Spring Forward

W​e know why you're all here. And the answer is yes! It's finally time to change the time this weekend.

D​aylight saving time is a controversial topic, especially with parents of small children who have very important sleep schedules. The time change is looming, so be sure to cherish every night of good sleep and your current routine.

W​hen Will We Change Our Clocks?

I​f you live in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa or the Northern Mariana Islands, the short answer is you won't. Enjoy your incredibly predictable life.

B​ut for the rest of us, despite all the recent talk of legislation to do away with it, daylight saving time returns on the morning of Sunday, March 9.

T​hankfully, many of our electronic devices will automatically skip an hour between 2 and 3 a.m. that morning, but if you're one of those people who are vehemently against changing clocks manually, they'll be wrong until Sunday, Nov. 2, when we go back to standard time.

W​hat Is The Point Of Daylight Saving Time?

F​rom weather.com senior editor Jan Childs:

• F​or some, there is none. In a 2023 survey by online research company YouGov, 62% of respondents said they would like to see the twice-a-year time changes go away. Previous surveys have seen similar results.

• D​ST first started in the U.S. in 1918 as a way to save energy during World War I. It came and went over the years and was officially made law in 1966.
