Many Americans will spring forward an hour to mark the beginning of daylight savings time (DST)âalso known as daylight saving timeâat 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8. Time will fall back to standard time again on Sunday, November 1, when DST ends.
Currently, in the U.S., daylight saving begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November. When the clocks spring ahead for most of the country in March, weâll enjoy an extra hour of daylight in the evening. But weâll also lose an extra hour of sleep. Though an hour difference in sleep doesnât sound like much, it can take a toll on our physical and mental health. RELATED: Tips on surviving daylight saving time from a sleep expert
