What is Daylight Saving Time? When is it? Do we gain an hour or lose an hour in March? What to know about DST and when clocks spring forward in 2025

"The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in 2024. "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation."

A bipartisan effort in the Nevada Legislature could put an end to the practice this year. Democratic Assemblywoman Selena La Rue Hatch and Republican Senator Robin Titus both have introduced bills to shift the state to permanent standard time later this year.

Experts say the political momentum is building to end the United States' more than 70-year-old seasonal time change, according to new information.

President Trump called DST costly and inconvenient. Understanding its history, health impact, and remedies is important. Sleep medicine experts explain.

According to TimeAndDate.com, daylight saving time will start on Sunday, March 9, this year. Clocks will “spring forward,” as the saying goes, at 2 a.m. (ET). And while there are those who simply shrug and dutifully change their clocks in accordance with the practice, there are others who are hoping time’s up for daylight saving time.

This spring, most of the United States will "spring forward," losing an hour of sleep to gain an hour of daylight.

Soon it will be time to participate in the near-century-long tradition of turning clocks forward an hour to cherish an extra hour of sunlight in the warmer months. Here's when to "spring ahead" in 2025.

Daylight Saving Time was initiated as an energy-saving measure in World War I and then again in World War II. Permanent daylight-saving time was briefly enacted by President Richard Nixon in 1974 following the 1973 oil embargo crisis.
